about

The debut album with the suitable name Birth of a Lifetime came about with the help of several session musicians, this time around in service of Denhollander. You can hear the exotic sound of the duduk, played by the Danish Steen Gees Christensen; the beautiful bluesharp of Arie van der Plas, the dreamy piano of Theodoor Borger and the minimalistic drums of Minco Eggersman. All of the other instruments were from the hand of Denhollander himself.

And so Denhollander wrote a new chapter in his story: from death to new life. Birth of a lifetime is a unconventional, cinematic en melancholic album, never without hope and very well-fitting in the list of Max Richter, Olafur Arnalds, the soundtracks of Mogwai and sometimes even coming close tot the elusive beauty of a band like Talk Talk.
