De kus van de muze
Rudy Tambuyser was a member of Stormdaisy and Ivan's Land (out of which Spencer the Rover emerged years later), and now he's a classical music critic. Classical music was his natural habitat when he started playing keyboards with us and returned to it when he left the band. He wrote this nice piece in Knack on Bach, Dylan, La Petite Bande, Spencer the Rover, the old discussion on "higher" and "lower" culture and universality of musical inspiration.
Interview on Radio 1
Listen to a nice interview on Radio 1 show "Allez, Allez" on "The Accident (and other love stories)" broadcasted last saturday.
Richard Wilkinson
Please take a look at the homepage of the brilliant Richard Wilkinson, who made the amazing illustrations for "The Accident (and other love stories)".
Spencer was lucky enough to stumble on his site half a year ago rather by accident. His beautiful & clever drawings just seem to hit the nail on the head regarding the subject. As it does for the new Spencer the Rover album.
Reviews II
Also written press has some very nice words for "The Accident (and other love stories)":
"The Accident (and other love stories)" staat weer vol pakkende ballads en fraaie popnummers waar veel andere singer-songwriters een puntje aan kunnen zuigen [...] gebracht zonder een greintje pretentie maar des te meer hart en hier en daar een snuif zwarte humor. (Het Laatste Nieuws)
"een hele mooie, zoetgevooisde, classic popplaat. [...] Te koesteren." (RifRaf Musiczine)
