Jean-Paul De Roover

Add Date: June 21 

Artist: Jean-Paul De Roover 

Album: Windows and Doors 

Label: Self-released

Genre: Alternative, indie rock 

Comments: Rhythmic tribal beats, live looping, full a cappella harmonies, noise-layered ambient rock and campfire folk are but a few of the phrases I can use to describe Windows and Doors, an album by the "one-man band" known as Jean-Paul De Roover. Laced with melancholy, the album delivers an innovative approach to music, with the "sonic architect" creating a foundation of tranquility and thoughtfulness with the help of simple chord progressions. His variance of sounds and instruments may detract from the album at times, but I'd recommend sticking with it.

If you're in the mood for some somber music with a decent beat, try out tracks 1, 2, 3 and 11.
