About
Make no mistake: Flat Earth Society is the boldest big band in Belgium. Not in the traditional meaning of the word, but simply because there are 15 of them. The influences in this not very traditional big band are varied.
The word eclectic might give the band pimples, but it’s hard to describe this exuberant music any other way. Basically, there is no musical vocabulary to describe the chemical reactions or culinary arts. 13 years after starting, the desire to play is still intact as can be seen by the latest offspring released on the Iglectic imprint of Igloo Records – the label that welcomed Peter Vermeersch’s first album Maximalist! 25 years ago.
13 is a round figure for Flat Earth Society, so let’s celebrate the jubilee! Raise the flag and sing our anthem. Our latest album - that we called “13”, for the want of anything better - contains our usual menu of gas, chaos and chazz.
13th album, this one with 13 tracks – each more instrumental than the others. The musical escapade crosses varied landscapes and changing climatic conditions. The band is as fresh, ready and badly shaved as ever. Music is our Swiss knife and our compass. The lyrics are of deep, profound depth. This should cheer up the CD industry!
