Quirky Little Number From Balthazar
Balthazar are a Belgian quintet who have been going at it for a little while; their 2012 album Rats gave them some international fame to follow up their 2010 debut. If you haven’t heard of them, now’s your chance to play catch up and take a listen to the jazzy number they’ve got for you below. “The Silence” comes off their freshly released album, Thin Walls, and it is a track that hedges the line between loose and controlled. There’s a sort of sinister tone that emerges with the horns and the group vocals that gives the track some snarl that I’m enjoying. Take a listen.
