Critically-acclaimed Dutch act Weval (AKA Harm Coolen and Merijn Scholte Albers) arrive on Ninja Tune’s Technicolour imprint with their new EP Changed For The Better. The duo hail from Amsterdam, where they have been cultivating a unique sound that balances high energy electronic funk and emotive synth arrangements with bold, beautifully composed melodies and songwriting. The duo recently embarked on a mission to rediscover themselves and what truly drives them, in a process of liberation from self-imposed constraints. Their creative process was reinvigorated with an uninhibited approach and Changed For The Better represents Weval unfiltered, accepting themselves for who they truly are. It’s sincere and heartfelt and unashamedly positive. ||
i really like all your stuff so far for being very unique, but I don't complain either when you just relaese a bunch of club bangers like this with a special Weval-style 🔥 also easier to drop in a playlist at a party and get people to listen to your genius stuff (my fav songs 'Don't Loose Time' and 'Letter' aren't really a thing for a party i think but for enyoing at home with good headphones). Love you, you rock, always exited to see a new release from you ❤
You guys are the rare case where I press like prior to listening to the music. Always classy and tasteful. Your mixing skills are also out of this world.
I just watched a man morph into a manhole cover morph into a building morph into a street lamp in a matter of a second... and I enjoyed every minute of it.
