Better Man, de debuutplaat van The Föhns, is het resultaat van een hechte vriendschap tussen twee mannen wier karakters tegenpolen zijn. Dat alleen al is goud waard. Eindhovense pophelden Dennis Grotenhuis en Roel Blommers trekken samen op sinds het woeste punkrockavontuur dat The Spades heette.

Hierna bleven ze liedjes schrijven, arrangeren en opnemen. Plaat na plaat verscheen, telkens anders, telkens rijker en telkens onder een andere naam. Ze meenden het hijgen van de hete adem van de popindustrie in hun nek te voelen. Maar bestaat die adem eigenlijk wel? Waren ze niet zelf de bron van die hete adem? Ziedaar The Föhns. Gas terug en de diepte in. Op hun debuut dertien schitterend uitgewerkte luisterliedjes in powerpopvermomming. Stel je Sparklehorse en Elliott Smith voor in de respectvolle handen van The Posies, fijnzinnigheid bewaard in het grotere gebaar.

Better Man bevat hun sterkste werk tot dusverre, autoradiopop suprême. Dennis en Roel vonden een betere versie van zichzelf dankzij de inzet van vijf bevriende muzikanten uit de Eindhovense scene.


English

Better Man, the debut album by The Föhns, is the result of a close friendship between two men whose characters are polar opposites. That alone is worth gold. Eindhoven pop heroes Dennis Grotenhuis and Roel Blommers have been working together since the wild punk rock adventure called The Spades.

After this they continued to write, arrange and record songs. Record after record appeared, each time different, each time richer and each time under a different name. They thought they felt the hot breath of the pop industry breathing down their necks. But does that breath actually exist? Weren’t they themselves the source of that hot breath? Enter The Hair Dryers. Slow down and go into the depths. Their debut features thirteen beautifully crafted listening songs in power pop guise. Imagine Sparklehorse and Elliott Smith in the respectful hands of The Posies, delicacy preserved in the grander gesture.

Better Man contains their strongest work to date, car radio pop supreme. Dennis and Roel found a better version of themselves thanks to the efforts of five musician friends from the Eindhoven scene.
