You’re looking for a minimal, folky record to give to a picky friend? Look no further. Dutch musician Broeder Dieleman‘s album might be the thing. We especially like “O.L.V. Van De Polder”.
For who: the music lovers, critics, writers, and dancers in your life.
What’s to love about it: the sound of the wind coming off the North Sea. Some crackly voices saying words you can barely make out. Semi-failed transmissions. Melancholy, long nights, rain against the window. That kind of music.
Where you can get it: in Broeder Dieleman’s Bandcamp shop.
