Warhaus was originally formed as a side project of Maarten Devoldere, the lead singer of Belgian pop rock band Balthazar. The lyrics, which are engraved not only in one's memory, but above all deep in one's heart, in many cases seem like art coming straight from the poet's pen. The delicate piano accompaniment, heart-rending melodies and a touch of French romance are among the established certainties at Warhaus. His second eponymous album is proof, with references to Leonard Cohen, Serge Gainsbourg and Tom Waits.
Warhaus is no stranger to the subject of love either - he released his third album Ha Ha Heartbreak after breaking up with Belgian singer-songwriter Sylvia Kreusch. On it, he is sensitive yet very open about the ways in which he coped with the loss of his former partner, who had collaborated with him on some of his songs in the past. "All I needed was an empty hotel room, a guitar, a microphone, and a heart broken into a thousand pieces. And an escape abroad, specifically to Sicily. But those who try to escape from the pitfalls life brings will still stumble after a while," Maarten confided to the foreign publication Tinnitist.
Exactly two years since the release of Ha Ha Heartbreak, Warhaus is back with a new album, Karaoke Moon. He launched it with the first single Where The Names Are Real, which lyrically goes far beyond the heartbreak of the previous album. It promises dynamic melodies that straddle the line between rap and hip-hop, accompanied by provocative falsettos. It's these clever (and often hilarious) contrasts that make Karaoke Moon a record that burrows deeper under the listener's skin with each listen. In short, Warhaus knows how to create a genre cocktail that you'll be happy to sip, and after a while you'll want to taste more. If you enjoy lyrics and melodies that make your heart skip a beat, you shouldn't miss this show.
