Influences: Jans has listened a lot to Ani di Franco and other singer/songwriters like for example Rufus Wainwright and Martha Wainwright. Simon listens to Eno, Fripp, Sylvian, electronic music like the music from Boards of Canada, Johan is currently involved with ... I forgot the name!(i will remind you, Erna: Spock's Beard, Salem hill, Kaipa, Genesis, Pagan's Mind) Anyway, he likes rock music, sometimes maybe kinda like symphonic progressive rock, I've listened to Kate Bush, Prince, Mahler and sung a lot of choral music made by modern and old composers. Remko, I think he listens to.. everything and nothing at the same time.
Sounds Like: Arranged for several voices, beautiful arrangements. We're very broad, with several (song)writers with divergent backgrounds. Sounds just like Espinita!
Type of Label: Major
