In April, the Ghent-based band Amatorski will be releasing their second album, 'From Clay To Figures'. Much to their own surprise, the British newspaper The Guardian was resolute on having the exclusive premiere of the first single 'Hudson'.
Already in 2012, The Guardian said that 'Amatorski could be the best Belgian act around at the moment' and it now describes the new song as a 'downcast slice of fidgety post-rock buffeted by big swathes of ominous synths and Inne's fractured vocal.'
In 2010, the Belgian audience fell in love with Amatorski's debut EP 'Same Stars We Shared', including the radio hit 'Come Home'. A year later, the Benelux release of their atmospheric album 'tbc' exceeded already high expectations. In 2013, Amatorski was signed to Crammed Discs for a worldwide release of the 'tbc'/'Same Stars We Shared' combo. The band toured extensively, from Germany to France, from Spain to the UK, from Switzerland to Slovakia, and on to Austria and Hungary. In the meantime, they created soundtracks for television and for a Dutch movie, and their acclaimed interactive multimedia project 'Deleting Borders' explored crossovers amongst music, the Internet and video art.
The new album was created over the course of last year. During a couple of months, a new batch of songs was crafted in a variety of places: at home, in the band's studio and on the road. Songwriter Inne Eysermans searched for solitude and seclusion in New York and Hamburg to work on sketches and new ideas and sent them to guitar player Sebastiaan Van den Branden, who added new layers and sounds. Through their continuous interplay, the new songs gradually took their definitive form.
