Calm Down / The Other Man

Notes from press release: "Jinte Deprez, who co-fronts Belgian indie band Balthazar; has just unveiled his new solo project, J. Bernardt, which sees him explore new musical ground sculpted out of evocative synth beats drawn from a range of influences. Whether inspired by his father's love of Kraftwerk or the pop sensibilities of his own musical discoveries, J. Bernardt marks a new and exciting journey for Jinte." Review notes from Piccadilly Records, Manchester, U.K.: "Double A-side and first physical release from J. Bernardt, the alias of Jinte Deprez, co-frontman of hugely successful Belgian indie-rock outfit Balthzar. Displaying an altogether different sound from Balthazar, ’Calm Down’ is full of seductive grooves enveloped in warm soulful vocals, while ‘The Other Man’ is six joyful minutes of R&B influences and 60s brass. ‘Calm Down’ has been championed by Lauren Laverne [BBC Radio 6 Music]."
