DadaWaves is a semi-psychedelic pop band founded by singer/songwriter Jasper Stockmans. His musical carreer started with the melodic punkband Oversized. They won the Belgian musical contest Rockvonk and released two albums. Later Jasper performed all over Flanders with his solo-project The Nursery Rhyme, but the urge to start over with a band again never faded away completely.
That’s how DadaWaves came into the picture. DadaWaves began as some kind of a home-recording existential-occupational therapy, inspired by icons of baroque pop like The Kinks, The Beatles, The Zombies and The Beach Boys. In 2014/2015 Jasper started playing live with his band and recorded a first album with producer Jeroen Swinnen (Novastar, Daan) On this album which will be released on, May 20th 2016, DadaWaves is inspired by the superfluity of mankind, which shows itself in a musical hybrid of euphoria and gloominess.
Distinctive arrangements and colourful melodies contrast sharply with quite satirical lyrics. Highly recommended for enthusiasts of lively, multilayered and psychedelic pop music!
