OVD068 : Pierre Vervloesem / Expected Noises

"Expected Noises" is the complete reconstruction from the English band Brian Brain sole album "Unexpected noises" released in 1980 on Secret Records. 

It was the band of Martin Clive Atkins, drummer for Public Image Limited for the albums "Metal Box," "Flowers of Romance," "Commercial Zone" and "This Is What You Want...".

The original cover


For this project Pierre asked his faithful friend Bruno Vansina to play a handful of saxes and divers instruments. Jordi Geuens (drummer of Selah Sue) added his drums and Gaëlle F her vocals to arrive to a perfect hit album mixing new-wave, post-punk and modernity from 2023! 

Gaëlle says:

'De original lyrics were sometimes difficult to understand so we tried to come up with something that resembled them close enough. When we couldn’t be true to the  original words, we tried to at least make it phonetically coherent. It was a great album to cover - hope you’ll enjoy it as much as us!'

Gaëlle F. : vocal.
Bruno Vansina : saxes, flûtes, castagnets, melodica, megaphone, glockenspiel, ship bell, clarinet, percussion, xun.
Jordi Geuens : drums.
Pierre Vervloesem : bass, guit, keys, vocals.
