Warhaus, "Control"
Years of listening to Belgian male singers like Ozark Henry, Daan, and Balthazar/Warhaus frontman Maarten Devoldere made me very excited to visit Belgium where, I imagined, every man would have a deep, throaty voice and speak English with a soft, sexy slur. Needless to say, I was very disappointed, and I'd like to ask the Belgian Tourist Board for my money back.
But "Control," from Warhaus' new self-titled album--the follow-up to their wonderfully titled debut "We Fucked a Flame into Being"--resurrects my fantasy of Belgian masculinity. With its dramatic strings and exotic castanets, it would also make a great James Bond theme. It would certainly be a better fit than the last few actual James Bond themes, like that rubbish Sam Smith song, "I'm Wailing on the Wall" or whatever it was called.
