The debut album 'Various Thoughts and Places' from 't Geruis is out now on Lost Tribe Sound.
'Various Thoughts and Places' is an exercise in finding the balance between beauty and what is broken, or generally what might be considered so. This "friction", so to speak, is a tension that has always held great inspirational value. Call it melancholy, call it nostalgia. Finding that balance is the moment where the creation takes over the process and all that's left to do is follow along.
Through imperfection it reaches perfection.
'Various Thoughts and Places' is an exercise in evoking images, moods and memories. Perhaps they are places we have actually been, feeling we have actually felt, or visions we have truly laid eyes upon. Or perhaps, as the mind often does, maybe they are simply an illusion... a false recollection, an embellishment of the past. Existing in that zone between what is real and what feels real.
This album is an ode to dreams and to being. An ode to moments and places, to people and you.
La vie quoi.

NEW AND NOTABLE - "An exercise in finding the balance between the beauty and the broken, the latest from ’t Geruis wanders gentle soundscapes. - BANDCAMP
"Beauty can be seen in decay, and there’s no doubt that these rusting melodies are beautiful, the music putting on that special dress once again, looking in the mirror at its sublime fabric of notes – slightly worn and frayed after all these years, true, but still able to contain the essence of its memories and moments." - (James Catchpole) FLUID RADIO
"Occasionally music comes into your orbit that just puts you on your ass. Music that you sink right into and you lose yourself inside. It’s a rare and beautiful feeling, and one that Belgium based artist ‘t Geruis seemingly effortlessly provides via with his strange, atmospheric, at times highly repetitive pieces from his debut album Various Thoughts And Places. His music seems to tug at your very soul, with his sounds feeling aged, archaic, existing from another century – something between a woozy degraded field recording and murky sound design." - (Bob Baker Fish) CYCLIC DEFROST
"The presence of this album is unreal. Faint piano loops; rusted and throaty reeds, urgent white noise served up a dozen different ways. These are incredibly visual compositions, and I promise, you've never seen anything like it." - (Fred Nolan) CONCERNED CITIZEN
"These are sepia slides, veiled by a slightly dusty patina, which frames a combination of piano loops and grainy analog debris, from which a sense of endemic nostalgia emanates." - (translated from Italian) MUSIC WON'T SAVE YOU
"Une démarche expérimentale basée sur l’improvisation qui donne ici un disque très réussi qui peut évoquer une nature étrange ou une campagne hostile. Une belle expérience d’immersion sonore." - POSSIBLE MUSICS
"This album is a grower that reveals the complex content of the songs with their moods after a few deep listens." - (translated from Dutch) (Patsker Omaer Beguin) LUMINOUS DASH
"Een verstilde melancholie doordringt ‘Various Thoughts And Places’, alsof de muziek elk moment kan verdwijnen." - (svw) GONZO

Quietly intense, dense, and claustrophobic - yet offset by its relentlessly hypnotic nature and tactile, bubbling textures. You'll get the bends, but you won't mind. A glorious mix of Night That Thunders by Rapoon and Fishy by Mookoid, this is THE must-have album for your bathysphere. Recommended. 400 Lonely Things

WRF creates sounds like not many out there, and each release holds it's own fingerprint, but this one is particularly special in it's more still and minimal nature. Some of this reminds me of Johann Johannsson's finest soundtracks (in particular Movement II) but all of it is pure beauty, and light with interspersed shadows to keep it interesting and multilayered just as the clouds drift overhead and block out the sun for a moment, the rays will beam down again as soon as the shadow passes.

Recorded inside a nuclear cooling tower, this 25-minute album is distinguished by innovative sound design and musical ingenuity. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 18, 2020
