Every Dawns A Mountain

Seven years ago, Tamino became an unsuspecting star in his native Belgium, catapulted to major stages after winning a national radio contest. He had always expected to write intimate songs for small audiences, but here he was in front of ecstatic crowds that soon included Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood, such a fan he began touring and recording with Tamino. Two albums deep, with nearly half a billion streams to his name, hand-picked support slots from the likes of Lana Del Rey and Mitski, and a collaboration with Ang|le, he is now playing to fevered sold-out theatre and arena audiences in Europe, the US, Mexico and across the Middle East. This new record sees Tamino take a more conceptual approach to song-writing, in his owns words he felt “a tremendous urge to build a metaphysical altar for what had been lost. The end result, though at times eclectic, feels like the most harmonious record I’ve made to date, with all 10 songs strung together by a same sense of honoring and letting go.” Recorded in studios across his native Belgium and new home in the USA, he worked with long-term collaborator PJ Maertens among others, continuing to bridge his musical heritage and ancestors with contemporary, classic influences putting his songwriting and transcendental vocals at the forefront. Mitski features on the album on “Sanctuary”.
