With their first album, '
Acquired taste', the men of Absynthe Minded already shot very close to the mark. The second CD, '
New Day', landed right in the middle! Jazz, pop, rock, a dash of blues, screeching strings, romantic tunes, a floaty and at the same time menacing voice, ... Absynthe Minded presents an extremely coherent musical mishmash. Light and airy, but also hard and yet controlled. The gang around Bert Ostyn exudes self-confidence that betrays years of experience. There is a long road between their first youth club performance and their second full CD. This gave them, among other things, a great live reputation. Absynthe Minded easily blows an entire audience away. At this concert, however, the group lets you enjoy it from the comfort of your couch and immerses you in their compelling sound. As the king of controlled decibels and tight melodies, Absynthe Minded goes for nothing less than total hypnosis in the Handelsbeurs.
