Description: | The Bony King of Nowhere is the artistic alias of Belgian artist Bram Vanparys. He made a mark in 2018 with the
release of his critically acclaimed album Silent Days. The record received consistent 4- and 5-star press reviews and
was hailed as his best album to date. It also earned Vanparys a Music Industry Award (BE) for 'best author�composer'. Silent Days revealed the full potential of the singer-songwriter and his commitment to never repeat
himself and keep surpassing his creative abilities.
The new album, entitled Everybody Knows, has been a long time coming, partly due to Vanparysâ?? aforementioned
pledge to artistic evolution. The first two tracks he unveiled give a definite hint of what to expect from this album.
â??Are You Still Aliveâ?? and â??Almost Invisibleâ?? carry the quality mark, known colour scheme and scent of The Bony King of
Nowhere, but add many more hues and details. The new record showcases the new league Vanparys is playing in.
Themes like rusted patterns in society, the obedience of the everyday man, the structural false ignorance of big
shots, the toxicity of online communication and other very recognisable but not always pleasant subjects. Inspired
by the observations of many sociologists, Vanparys dissects our society, the loneliest ever. This album is not just
disconcerting though, in its strength lies a sense of hope and vigour.
The first singles promise a new album with lots of punch and energy, while Vanparys is unveiling the complete
complexion of his voice whilst remaining vulnerable and honest. On the album, he is accompanied by multi-talent
guitarist Vitja Pauwels (Naima Joris), pianist Hendrik Lasure (Tamino, Bombataz), drummer Simon Segers (Sylvie
Kreusch, Stadt) and bass player Jasper Hautekiet.
While the songwriting legends, particularly Neil Young and Bob Dylan, have always kept Bram company, his latest
compositions also draw inspiration from more contemporary artists. The influence of PJ Harvey, Blur and Nick Cave
are unmistakable when you listen to his music. While staying true to his heartfelt songwriting style and captivating
voice, The Bony King Of Nowhere embarks on a journey into uncharted musical and thematic realms.
The last time this band was on tour in support of â??Silent Daysâ??, they took a big leap forward while touring 75 shows
across renowned venues and festivals in Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, and France, with a packed Ancienne
Belgique in Brussels as one of the highlights. - |
