Warhaus returns with 5th studio album The Donkey.
Rhythmic handclaps. Rustling percussion. Ominous falsetto vocals, beneath which an ethereal synth seems to search for a way through. From the very first note, The Donkey, is taut with tension.
Because Maarten Devoldere's latest solo outing taps into something deeper, something beyond the dandyish pop of his previous efforts that had become just a little too easy. ‘Ah, there you are,’ a friend said after the first listen. As if Devoldere is only now truly showing himself, while taking the opportunity to spit in the face of all that prefab pop tailored for TikTok. The Donkey is merely a thrilling first step towards a version of Warhaus that neither we nor he yet dare to imagine.
