“Op’t gevoel, zonder doel, een rechtsen op je smoel!”
“On feeling, without purpose, a right-wing punch in the face!”
The noise rock group DREUN was founded in 2017 in the workshops of Tordale, a facility for people with suspected intellectual disabilities, in Torhout by guitarist/drummer Keanu Dewilde. He brought together seven musicians for honest music without frills. DREUN is more than a music group but a loud alliance, sincere and from the gut. However, Keanu passed away due to a tragic accident. The group was left orphaned until guitarist Jonas Messelier took the musicians under his wing.
kleinVerhaal invited KRANKLAND (Thomas Werbrouck), a thoroughbred musician who delves into music outside the mainstream, to join forces with DREUN for the development of new songs and recordings on the Drift music label.
This DREUN XL incarnation with 11 musicians resulted in “Dewilde Superheld”. An album with psychedelic, enchanting songs and a sound that at times takes on cosmic proportions. Spacy, trippy keys and a screaming swarm of fanning guitars are held together by a battery of repetitive percussion and a foundation of thundering bass.
DREUN XL is music by and for unfiltered superheroes!
‘Dewilde Superheld’ is a release on the Drift music label of the Oostendse kleinVerhaal, a socio-artistic organization specialized in musical stories with an edge.
Recorded and produced at StudiO.666, Oostende by Yamen Martini, Genis Laguna and Krankland. Mixed by Jeff Claeys (Elstudiocr.com). Mastered by Interval Mastering. 2023
