CD Balthazar – Thin Walls

Balthazar – Thin Walls (2015)

Hailing from Ghent, Belgium, Balthazar returns with their third studio album, Thin Walls. Released via Play It Again Sam, this record captures a band that has honed their craft through relentless touring across Western Europe, resulting in an album defined by its coherence, passion, and infectious indie-pop finesse.

Written amidst the constant movement of life on the road, Thin Walls explores themes of privacy and the tension of touring. Songwriters Jinte Deprez and Maarten Devoldere continue their brilliant collaborative dynamic, blending lush strings and staccato piano with clever, vivid storytelling. From the urbane opening of "Decency" to the alluring rock sensibilities of "Then What," the album finds the band shifting between relaxed, ambient levity and quirky, rhythmic edginess.
