The Bony King Of Nowhere

In the organizer's words:

The album "Everybody Knows", released in February, is not only thought-provoking, but also gives hope and strength on gray days. Inspired by the observations of various sociologists, the album covers topics that probably dissect the loneliest society in human history to date.

The first two pre-release singles already gave a clear indication of what to expect from this new album: On the one hand, Are You Still Alive and Almost Invisible bear The Bony King Of Nowhere's clearly assignable signature of spherical sound palettes (the artist's name is not based on a Radiohead song title for nothing), on the other hand they add many more nuances and details to the latest longplayer and make Everybody Knows a great overall work that transports The Bony King Of Nowhere into even higher artistic realms. Themes such as the daily grind and blind obedience, well-worn social paths and behavioral patterns, the ignorance of so-called big shots and the disadvantages of modern online communication are addressed.

On Everybody Knows, Vanparys also demonstrates an unexpected complexity and full vocal range, while always remaining vulnerable and honest. He was accompanied in the studio by guitarist Vitja Pauwels, pianist Hendrik Lasure, drummer Simon Segers and bassist Jasper Hautekiet.
