  • Bio

    'Where the echoes die' (Be-Lux: LCMusic/Nl: ForTheRoad/Coast to coast) TOO TANGLED are an indie-electro-rock duo hailing from Ghent, Belgium. Their new album 'Where the echoes die' is about to be released in Benelux (April 2013) Roeland Vandemoortele (Vox, Guitar, Drumbeats) and Eva Buytaert (Vox, Violin, Keys) formed Too Tangled four years ago, and have since released their debut album 'The Magic Got Killed' (2010) to very encouraging reviews. Where they made their first album in a relational hurricane, their new album is driven on the highs and lows of a reunion, about the pains and the gains of living with or without eachother. Their 2nd album, sustained by an interesting mix of a 'jam and bread diet' and Roeland participating in medical trial experiments for cash to fund the recordings, was produced by Ian Davenport (whose credits include Radiohead, Band of Skulls & Supergrass). TOO TANGLED recorded the album in a big old building which used to be a boxing club in Ghent, where they captured echoes. With these recordings they traveled to Ian's studio, a small village just outside Oxford, UK, where they did overdubs & mixing. "Working together with Ian was a great journey, he added a great deal to our sound. We worked late hours and ended the night session with some nostalgic 60's records." In September 2012 they had the chance to release the record in Germany/ Austria/ Switzerland via Popup Records (distributed by Cargo). They did some intensive touring there the last 6 months. Their singles have been picked up by many Campus-radio's aswell as some of the big stations. As such they've been invited on radio Eins in Berlin; Klaus Fiehe, 'the German John Peel', picked up the album in his exclusive leading radio- show on Einslive; it also got airplay on FluxFM, DRS Virus…. The Eastern neighbours describe their music as sexy, catchy and subtile agressive. Parallels get drawn with bands such as The Velvet Underground, Black Rebel Motor Cycle Club, John Spencer Blues Explosion, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Kills, Nancy Sinatra; and they get praised for their 'own fresh sound'. 'Die boy/Girl-konstellation weist soundmässig in die richtige richtung. Ihr album klingt nicht gewollt plakativ, sondern angenehm glamourös, kantig und dreckig' Glitterhouse 'Hier wird die gitarre getrasht, die violine gequält und der rhytmus schön elektronisch und minimalistisch gehalten. Dazu teils ganz ganz liebliche stimmen, irgendwie sexy sowie anglophilie gerne haben. Velvet Underground trifft hier auf die Raveonnettes auf the Kills auf The White Stripes' Expuls**** 'Hier wird dem düsteren Trashrock gehüldigt, wie man ihn schon sehr lange nicht mehr in dieser Qualität, mit dieser Hingabe und in dieser Perfektion gehört hat. Das macht trotz aller bedrückenden Atmosphäre Spaß beim Zuhören. 'Where the echoes die' ist ein Album für Menschen, die in der aktuellen Musikszene nach interessanten Perlen suchen' Blueprint Fanzine 'Beide Bandmitstreiter setzen ihre Stimmen wohldosiert ein und schaffen richting schöne hooklines (grandios: "Wrecking ball" oder "Berlin nights)..' Westzeit**** 'Die Belgier beweisen erneut Stiloffenheit und Kreativität' InHard'**** 'Das belgische Boy-Girl-Duo Too Tangled hat schon nach wenigen Sekunden gewonnen' Falter 'Das klingt verdammt sexy und atmosphärisch. Das beiden zum Mikrofon greifen ist ein weiterer Pluspunkt einder wunderbar stimmigen Platte. Daumen hoch!' Recordings 'Das oftmals so schwere zweite Album, entpuppt sich dieses Mal als willkommene Abwechslung jenseits des Mainstream. Ein Tick von 80iger Musik trifft auf TrashRock. Sexy, catchy und minimalistisch aggressiv' Albumcheck 9/10 'Das belgische duo bietet eben genau so einen Sound, der moderne Ansätze mit sehr historische Inspiration verbindet. Sie haben eben auch sehr viel Eigenständigkeit in ihren Stücken. Dass sich Too Tangled von großen Vorbildern haben inspirieren lassen, aber sich vor allem eigene Gedanken gemacht haben' Alternative Musik 'Sie haben 13 Tracks auf dem Platte gepackt, die Lust auf eine laute Clubsession mit kühlen Getränken machen' Fuldaer Zeitung 'When Belgian duo Too Tangled enters the stage, the room turns into an aural battlefield. There is a tension between Roeland Vandemoortele and Eva Buytaert that transforms their music into a turmoil of sex and lust and hate and love and anger and every other great feeling.' C-heads Magazine (live review Vienna) 'Belgian duo Too Tangled are one of our new discoveries. The male-female pairing drop a catchy fashion indie show' Art Rocker (live review International show case Festival Vienna) On the 16th of April the album will be released in Benelux (Hosted by GreenLFant/LC Music Be-Lux and For The Road/Coast to Coast NL).
