DAAU live at Botanique
Living room techno

There is an article and interview with DAAU in today’s De Standaard.
Avid followers of this site will not find too much new information there, but it is a nice read. The idea of listening to a concert while lying down on a mattress appeals to me…

Three songs from the Brussels gig last October for your enjoyment. These clips look and sounds really nice, alhough the colour does look a bit strange… Anyways, thanks to the uploader.

Special on Radio Klara
Posted on Tuesday, April 6th, 2010 in media
And yet there is more fanfare Radio Klara will broadcast a one-hour special focusing exclusively on DAAU this coming Thursday, April 8 at 10 PM, Antwerp time.
Spoiler alert: You can already view the playlist online. There is a nice mix of tracks from the new album, some side projects and one unreleased and very, very old live recording. And best of all, you can listen to the programme online by clicking on “Luister live” !
Om met je ogen dicht te beluisteren

cobra.be has posted a video of DAAU performing “Girl, Swimming”, with an interview with the band to follow next week.
The downside is, the thing can only be watched from computers within Belgium “for legal reasons”, which means I have not been able to watch it. (… yes, and that is a hint my friends! Maybe someone can download this and send this to me? thanks, much appreciated!)
“shepherd’s dream” reviews
Posted on Saturday, April 3rd, 2010 in new animals
Updated May 4th
Reviews of the new album are starting to come in, and I’ll link to them as they become available online. They are mostly very favorable, and rightly so !
- kwadratuur.be (3.5/5 stars)
- darkentries.be (8/10 stars)
- rifraf has a review on page 22. Again the free music mag gives a very favorable review to the extent of associating DAAU with contemporary composers and even going so far as to label them a crossing between Eleni Karaindrou en Nino Rota (!).
- cuttingedge.be, 4/5 stars
- psychemusic.org, 4 stars
- The New Music Review, 4 stars
Feel free to send me more if you come across them…
