Description
Presenting a totally unique musical concept: Hoquets are an international musical trio who play instruments, also named "hoquets", personally assembled by hand from wooden boards, broken strings, tin cans and other cast away materials in their workshop in Brussels, Belgium.The band makes music that's overflowing with energy, heavily percussive and strangely addictive... inspired by raw-edged indie pop and dancefloor punk-funk as well as the DIY aesthetic of Konono No.1, Staff Benda Bilili and other Congolese groups, Hoquets are both without precedent and oddly familiar at the same time.
"Belgotronics" was recorded in Brussels and mixed by Marc Meliá Sobrevias of Lonely Drifter Karen (who also appears as a guest musician), Greg Saunier (Deerhoof) and regular Deerhoof collaborator Etienne Foyer. Other musical guests include Lonely Drifter Karen's Tanja Frinta, underground Japanese improvisor Naoki Otani (Maher Shalal Hash Baz) and Yann Tambour (Stranded Horse, Encre).
"Belgotronics" has gone on to win an Octave de la Musique (the French speaking Belgian equivilant to a Grammy) for best pop/rock album of 2011.
