Rustling percussion. Ominous falsetto\u003cbr\u003evocals, beneath which an ethereal synth seems to search for a\u003cbr\u003eway through. From the very first note, The Donkey, is taut with\u003cbr\u003etension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaarten Devoldere was at home with his girlfriend and the dog,\u003cbr\u003ehappy, calm, and super zen. Nothing but peace and quiet in his\u003cbr\u003elife. But apparently, an overdose of peace of mind can be\u003cbr\u003edangerous too; that’s how much energy came pouring out when\u003cbr\u003ehe started making music. The filter was gone, the anesthetic had\u003cbr\u003eworn off, and suddenly he wanted something else. Something\u003cbr\u003erawer, something more real, perhaps? For years, he had churned\u003cbr\u003eout one dandyish pop song after another, each more superior\u003cbr\u003ethan the last, with almost insulting ease. There’s nothing wrong\u003cbr\u003ewith craftsmanship, but now it felt like a tailored suit whose\u003cbr\u003esleeves had suddenly become too short, the trousers just a little\u003cbr\u003etoo tight around the hips. What if he threw those golden\u003cbr\u003emelodies out the window and went looking for the primal urges\u003cbr\u003elurking inside his chest? One relentless drive, one stream of\u003cbr\u003eenergy straight from the heart. The demons of old channeled into\u003cbr\u003efrantic music with broken beats, and a voice that no longer wants\u003cbr\u003eto please but to cry out.\u003cbr\u003eBecause The Donkey taps into something deeper. ‘Ah, there you\u003cbr\u003eare,’ a friend said after the first listen. As if Devoldere is only now\u003cbr\u003etruly showing himself, while taking the opportunity to spit in the\u003cbr\u003eface of all that prefab pop tailored for TikTok. The Donkey is\u003cbr\u003emerely a thrilling first step towards a version of Warhaus that\u003cbr\u003eneither we nor he yet dare to imagine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracklist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
