Gloomy darkwave pop pearls from Belgian duo Victor De Roo and Frederik Willem Daem aka Prutser, debuting a haunted, theatric sound on the home of such stuff; Stroom
Forming De Roo’s 2nd 7” after his low key addictive outing with Vanderschrick in 2018, ‘Netels’ sees the Stroom and Kontakt Group staffer team up with Daem for a typically minimalist pair of dark pop curios riddled with absorbing detail and melodic turns of phrase.
While the vocals and synth strokes of the title track are clearly steeped in cult ‘80s styles, it’s perhaps possible to hear the influence of trap and drill in its nagging hi-hat ticks and blunted bass vamps, whereas the sulky roll of ‘De Realiteit’ spies an ultimately contemporary iteration of Joy Division’s iron grip over Belgian music bubble up in its revving bassline and spider-webbed synths.
