BLAUDZUN - HEAVY FLOWERS
Ten years ago critics considered him one of the best-kept secrets in European indie pop. But that didn’t last for too long. 2012 turned out to be a thriving year for the Holland based singer and composer Blaudzun when his music started to work it’s magic in Europe and in the States with the release of the highly acclaimed album Heavy Flowers.
To celebrate Heavy Flowers 10th anniversary Blaudzun releases a limited 2LP deluxe edition reissue featuring previously unreleased live tracks including recordings from the 2019 collab tour with Amsterdam Sinfonietta.
