Gloria Gutter

After playing bass for numerous songwriters such as Iskander Moon, Arend Delabie and Aarde Aan Daan, Hanne Vandekerckhove decided it was about time to step out of the comforting darkness of the shadows.

As it often goes, some loser who broke her heart triggered her to write a song of her own. The result is ‘Kind Of Fine’, a straightforward lovesong. She carried it into Baptiste Navarro’s bedroom for recording and they’ve been happily writing sad stuff together ever since. Oh, the salty taste of tears.

After blurting out ‘Kind Of Fine’, she wondered what else she had up her sleeve and tried to dig a little deeper. With a guitar part, courtesy of partner in crime Baptiste Navarro, in her backpack, she exiled herself to Basel to escape the distractions of home and find out whether or not she had another song in her. (Un)fortunately her heart had taken another beating in the meantime. She layered her torment onto the guitar part and a second sad banger was
born.

Named after the place where she wrote it, ‘Basel’ is now ready to reach beyond the Swiss borders and into the world.

Let Gloria Gutter break your heart, so you can mend hers.
