Track of the Day: Geppetto & The Whales – Heads

• 29th Dec 2014

Combining trad-folk with American Deep South country and 70’s funk, this wonderfully evocative new track from Geppetto & The Whales caught our attention today.

‘Heads’ is the new single from the Belgian psych-rock-folk gang, who are something of a big deal in their native Benelux region after being signed to Warner Music. The track is the b-side to their debut single 1814 which they recently released from their debut album ‘Heads Of Woe’.

Sander Sterkens from the band explains “We’re very excited to introduce to you our single ‘1814’. This song is based on a 200 year old diary from someone who lived in the same village as we do. He had to fight in a Napoleonic war against his own people, was captured in Russia, escaped and made his way home on a 7000 miles foot journey. The way he describes the feeling of coming home after so many years is what we’ve tried to capture with this song. We hope you feel it too.”

This rustic and authentic track is perfect for the clear, bright, icy days we’re set for this week – press play and sink in:
