About Me

HILLMADELOW
At the start of the new millennium, Axel Kabboord and Minco Eggersman from at the close of every day were recording their second album the silja symphony in René de Vries’ studio in Amsterdam. Taking a break, the three started toying with some electronic sounds and, before they knew it, came up with the ambient track ‘alive in ‘45’. Dubbing their one day project ‘hillmadelow’, they decided to release the track on the first edition of The Pet Series. Some great reactions came in, but the guys were too busy with other projects to take hillmadelow to a next level.
Enter Pierre Maulini from A Red Season Shade, a French band whose record Minco and René were producing a few years later. When he heard hillmadelow, he was immediately excited and shared some of his own ideas he’d been recording on his laptop. With Axel too busy to rejoin the project, Pierre took his place and became hillmadelows guitarist and lead singer. The trio came up with enough ideas for a complete album, and started recording in Renés studio. To complete the enchanting sound they had in mind, the guys called in their friend Alice ten Brinke, who currently sings in Ponoka, to add some angelic vocals to the mix.
Now, after being a work in progress for many years, hillmadelow finally debuts with the irresistibly atmospheric ‘We make flowers out of plastic bags’. Take the title literally if you want: fusing all kinds of ‘plastic’ sounds – samples, synths, electronics – the band has created a record that lives and breathes. Varying from catchy popsongs like ‘camouflage’ to soothing soundscapes like ‘misunderstood!’, it works like a soundtrack to a movie playing in your head.
In the meantime hillmadelow has come to the attention of some interesting musical parties – Guy Sigsworth (producer of Madonna) has contacted the band, a deal has been made with Japanese label This Time Records, and other deals are in the works.
