about
The very first full album by Geppetto & the Whales came out early 2014. This beautifully crafted debut, from this Belgian indie band, sounds mature and young at the same time. It blends beautiful little melodies with overwhelming soundscapes. The first result is the single 1814 a dark but beautiful love song based on a truly fascinating war story. The album comes 2 years after they’ve made it to the finals of Humo’s Rock Rally* in 2012 and 1.5 years after the release of the EP People Of Galicove. That EP contains excellent singles such as Juno (daytime airplay on two national radio stations ‘Studio Brussel’ & ‘Radio1’ + 6th place in ‘ De Afrekening’ + 3rd place of Radio 1’s VOX) and Duquesne’s Horse (14 weeks in ‘De Afrekening’), which was very well received by both press and public. Both stations played the track in heavy rotation. Their EP received all but raving reviews & even resulted in some magazine covers. Now there’s Heads Of Woe, the first full album by the band and the reviews below says it all, the media heaped praise: “It has become a pure, often Beatlesque, record on which the songs aren't stuffed with more than it needs, and on which the beautiful three-part harmony jumps in the eye. Songs as Jonathan, Heads and 1814 are accompanied by bright and pure melodies, and the music breaths in a wide, rustic atmosphere..." De Morgen ★★★★ "The guys from Geppetto & The Whales have finished their debut album Heads of Woe by which they share a perfectly aimed shot again
