For their sixth album, Belgian ensemble Linus turns to the songs of Dutch songwriter Jules de Corte, joined by the unmistakable voice of Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy.
Together, they reimagine De Corte’s concise and poetic songs about love, loss, religion and everyday life, bringing them into Linus’ adventurous, open and improvisational sound world.
The album will be released on October 23th and features beautiful artwork by Ante Timmermans.
Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy — vocals
Thomas Jillings — clarinet, piano, saxophone, synthesizers

We’re happy to announce three Aspen label nights in April at these wonderful venues: Het Bos (Antwerp), Cinéma Nova (Brussels) and De Koer (Ghent).
The evenings feature Oker, presenting their new album Aerial — the Norwegian acoustic experimental quartet bringing together some of the most distinctive young improvisers from the scene — alongside Strands of Lunar Light by Fredrik Rasten & Ruben Machtelinckx: a quiet, otherworldly exploration of spectral microtonality for multiple guitars. The performance is accompanied by a live film projection by Oona Libens, using a self-built three-eyed projector to improvise images with light, depth and focus.
23 April — Het Bos (Antwerp)
24 April — Cinéma Nova (Brussels)
25 April — De Koer (Ghent)
