Dutch experimental pop duo Wildgroei are breaking all the rules on their debut EP Ik ging er op staan ("I stood on it"). Stefanie Janssen and Martin Boorwater bonded over a shared love for new wave, opera and triphop. The words flows freely on top of eclectic amalgam of supposedly random sounds, nifty guitar hooks and muffled percussion.
Janssen sings like a improvising beat poet, moving form pop and rock to spoken word, while Boorwater uses every trick he knows as a longtime producer in trying to keep up. It's a friendly tug of war with no clear winner. Accessible avant-garde that leaves the listener wanting more.
Ik ging er op staan is a self-released EP. Full stream on Spotify.
