Annelies Monseré

Once she 'discovered' her voice, vocals became a main focus. The early songs had very simple structures and melodies, and the words were sparse and introvert. Musically, she experimented with different instruments such as cello, guitar, xylophone and melodica. Her debut album 'Helder' (released by BlueSanct) was described as "a delicate album, complete with beautiful cracks and loads of tape-hiss. [...] an intensely intimate album". Other musicians, such as Wim Lecluyse (Circle Bros.) , Ellen Evers (The Puddle Parade), Jessica Bailiff, Michael Anderson (dREKKa, Turn Pale), Nathan Amundson (rivulets), Justin Vollmar (Vollmar)and Nathan Vollmar (Vollmar) supported her on stage and contributed to her second album 'Marit' (release by Auetic). This gave the album a significantly warmer sound and a less solitary feel than her previous material. A 7 inch called 'somewhere someone' was released on Morc Records. This ep features a Hammond organ for the first time. This instrument led to new approaches in songwriting. This release deviates clearly from previous releases, with a darker and harsher sound. In 2011 Three Four Records released a split 10 inch with Richard Youngs. The AM side contains five versions of the same song, namely'sand'. Soon a 10 inch will be released by Morc Records which features Steve Marreyt (Edgar Wappenhalter) and Yumi Verplancke. Besides her solo materials she is also collaborating with Jessica Bailiff. An EP has been released by Morc Records. A third full length and a debut full length with Jessica Bailiff will hopefully be released soon. categories
