MAX FORAGE

Max Forage is the musical project of Belgian artist Max Winters. Raised, working and still living in rural surroundings, Max Forage blends countryside elements with contemporary styles and cultural influences.

Tribal rhythms summon old spirits, while a gritty guitar and dusty organ support the piercing vocals. A voodoo choir and early blues elements get crooked by modern beat-making, creating a distinct rousing sound. The bass-heavy and rhythm-driven style can be depicted as “from triphop to punk” with a noticeable (bel)pop sensibility. The sonic world, both timeless and fresh, evokes a familiar feeling, right before it knocks you off your feet. In no time you’ll imagine yourself hunting a will-o’-the-wisp in the wastelands or get lost wandering dark city allies.

With the lyrics, Max Forage is singing the song of the ordinary, interweaving stories of the land and its people into a tapestry of harmonies and images – an ode to the beauty and mystery of hyperpersonal emotions.
