Bio
www.twitter.com/audiotransparen.. www.last.fm/music/audiotransparent.. www.audiotransparent.bandcamp.com.. .. Audiotransparent blends indie songs with postrock atmospheres in a slow-paced fashion. Although the songs are melancholy in tone, there is always an apparent light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. In 2003, the band was able to present their debut in front of a large audience, when the Tindersticks asked them to provide the support-act for their Dutch shows. The debut, and their shows were well-received, resulting in an invitation to (Holland's number-one indie-event) Noorderslag 2004. Audiotransparent's reputation grew rapidly, allowing them to play alongside renowned international acts including Iron&Wine and Under Byen. The band received significant airplay on Dutch national radio, as well as on the BBC, where Audiotransparent received a warm reception from John Peel and BBC6. Especially admirers of the likes of Low, Sigur Rós, and Sparklehorse seemed to appreciate the atmospheric songs of their self-titled debut. Their second album, "Nevland", has been released on LVR/Konkurrent September 12th 2005. Like their debut, it was produced by Corno Zwetsloot (Blues Brother Castro, Spider Rico), but this time the cooperation resulted in a more complete, mature sound that occasionally lets on a hint of Americana. Audiotransparent's last recording session provided more space to experiment, which allowed them to put together remarkably crafty songs that reflect the tension between acoustic beauty and atmospheric noise. Both the songs and the orchestration demonstrate the coming of age of a collective that is ambitiously, yet passionately involved in the making of music. On stage one unavoidably hears and sees this: Audiotransparent treats its audience to an intense and unnerving listening-experience... .. click to see the video of "Really White Smile": .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. click to see the video of "Prison Yell" live @Noorderzon 2008: .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... click to see the video of "vague mm": .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .... ....
