Multi-instrumentalist Marnix Visscher (Korfbal, Price) blends traditional folk songwriting with a more warped sound on his new release Warm Defeat. From sample-based backing tracks to pitched acoustic instruments and deformed vocal sounds, he makes do with what's at hand. Landing on a sound that feels alien yet familiar. As uplifting lyrics drenched in naive hopefulness sweep you up on 'Foreign Nature', they carry you through landscapes that don't belong to any particular place during 'The Mast' as finally you end up with Visscher sitting in front of you in his tiny attic homestudio on the closer 'Warm Defeat'.
