August 2007 marks the month in which Maarten, Pien and Jelte left behind the coziness of their homes to record an album in the rural area near the Belgian Lanaken. This undertaking was part of the "In A Cabin With..." series, a project initiated by ‘The Green Motel’ studio owner Maarten Besseling. Without a specific plan they left Utrecht with a van full of keyboards, synthesizers, a guitar, a banjo and microphones and headed for Belgium. In a small cabin in the middle of the woods the creative juices richly flowed (as well as the Jupiler beer) and eight tracks emerged. Songs were written on the spot and Maarten recorded everything. This result is a mixture of fresh electronic beats and hauntingly intimate songs.
Jelte, Pien en Maarten were so satisfied with the result that they will continue working as a threepiece called NEONBELLE in the future. In January 2008 they will work on new material but until then they will regularly play shows through the Netherlands.
