A TRIP WORTH MAKING





Artwork by Stefan Glerum

Gallowstreet, the 8 member strong brass band from the windy streets of Amsterdam North is back with their fifth studio effort reflecting on their over a decade long career of bringing the best that instrumental brass music has to offer. With their newest album they claim their righteous throne as stalwarts of the new European wave of brass bands making waves on the continent. Containing 9 tracks of top notch quality brass music from a collective of musicians, friends and renegades that pursue a quest of innovating of what we know instrumental brass music to be. Gallowstreet is considered a reference point for the (future) sound of European brass bands that mix a multitude of styles into a new sound, whilst simultaneously (re)anchoring the notion of brass bands in its counter cultural and communal roots. Distinct from its American counterpart, whilst paying homage to the legacy.

LAAGLANDS


This is Laaglands, the record that we’ve made during the pandemic in 2020-2021. This record serves as a testament to that period, in which we as a group were offered a respite from touring and allowed ourselves to make compositions that weren’t meant for the festival crowds, but to make music for hikes in nature. Despite the challenges and difficulties that the pandemic posed to us as a band we also found the time to reflect, rest and contemplate.

The music we made during this time found its place in the Dutch landscapes. We found ourselves exploring the meadows, marshes and pastures of our country and realized that whilst creating and exploring we had made the counterpart of Our Dear Metropolis, our last record. Where that album scored the soundtrack of the city, this new music was much more contemplative and relaxed.
