Watermakers

Sweeping, coastal Dutch rock that balances stadium-sized melodies with intimate, poetic melancholy. The definitive soundtrack to a windy day on the North Sea coast.

October 7, 2000 · Universal Music

A warm, windswept coastal melancholy that feels like a shelter from the storm.

Moments Worth Listening For

The sweeping, cinematic transition into the chorus of Dansen aan zee, where the acoustic strumming opens up into a vast, ocean-sized electric guitar swell.

The quiet, devastating vulnerability of the opening lines in Heimwee, where the acoustic guitar drops to a whisper beneath a close-mic'd vocal.

The driving, rhythmic tension of Oog in oog as the bassline locks in with the drums to mimic a racing heartbeat.
