Dutch newcomers Harm Coolen and Merijn Scholte Albers, aka Weval, first caught our attention with their “Half Age” EP, which was released last year on Atomnation. Freshly signed to Kompakt, the boys are getting ready to drop their debut release for the label, a four-track EP called “Easier”. Our first taste of that forthcoming record is lead cut “Gimme Some”, a perfectly crafted track that combines rousing beats and claps, alongside an array of heavenly pads, ardent vocal snippets and glistening melodies. It’s a superb tune worthy of repeat listens. Update: Grab a free download of “Gimme Some” here via NPR. (right click & save)
Weval’s new “Easier” EP will arrive on November 24th via Kompakt.
