Jozef Van Wissem

After the release of 2016s When Shall This Bright Day Begin, Jozef Van Wissem returns to Consouling Sounds for the follow-up album Nobody Living Can Ever Make Me Turn Back. The album is inspired by a Vanitas painting by the Belgian artist CindyWright, which is also the cover of the album. This inspiration is beautifully reflected in the music of the album: Jozef Van Wissems lute arrangements sound fragile, his sparse vocals delicate, as if the vanity, the temporality and senselessness of everything has been rendered audible. Each song title refers to the painting, making each track a memento mori on its own. This is counterbalanced by the strong and deep sound of thealbum. Nobody Living Can Ever Make Me Turn Back might very well be the purest yet deepest and most full sounding Van Wissem album to date.For fans of: sq�rl, Jim Jarmusch, Zola Jesus, Grouper, David Lynch, Chelsea Wolfe.
