Hoogdagen voor de Nederlandse indie: deze acht bands zijn het ontdekken waard Ooit was het duidelijk: van alle Lage Landen had België de spannendste, ruigste, grensverleggendste gitaarmuziek. Wij waren het land van dEUS, Soulwax en Millionaire, de Nederlanders legden ‘Rain Down...

From HUMO; the 8 Dutch artists to watch in Belgium. Featuring @thisislibrarycard.com, @robinkester.com and @personaltrainertje.bsky.social. See them live soon over there; www.humo.be/muziek/hoogd...

Hopping over to the UK in August! Can’t wait to tour, awkwardly man the merch table, and bounce between my English, American, and Dutch accents. Let’s go 💙

Robin Kester: The Daylight A blog about music. The good stuff only.

A subtle amalgam of chamber pop and soft-spoken electronics. Bad dreams were just that and the problems that might have kept her awake are not that big a deal, when a newfound perspective is beckoning to be taken into consideration.

Opening for AIR at het Klokgebouw was like a dream

First photo by Christophe Dehousse

Full circle moment! Really looking forward to open for AIR in Eindhoven 💙 Years ago we had so much fun playing All I Need at NPO Radio 2

Thank you 💙

I'm opening for my absolute musical heroes, AIR, this Saturday at Het Klokgebouw in Eindhoven.

This feels kind of unreal (in the best way). Their work has been hugely inspirational to me while working on my upcoming record, Dark Sky Reserve.

Can’t wait to see them live!

I’ve been listening to This Is The Kit for many years, I love their sound and melodies. So I’m VERY excited to announce that I’ll be joining them on tour this August. I can’t wait to see them perform live and open their shows across the UK 💙

💙

Really looking forward to be playing @thelineofbestfit.com’s Summer Forecast in August @thelexingtonlondon.bsky.social 💙

Robin Kester - An Hour Per Day The title of Robin Kester’s new single is a quiet meditation in itself, and the almost haunting melody deepens that mood. “An Hour Per Day” - quick, think: what would you want to do for one hour each ...

“An Hour Per Day“ is sort of a meta track about itself. “What started as a guitar-based demo and a piano noodle grew into a layered, mostly instrumental track shaped by intuitive improvisation, tension, and happy accidents,” says Dutch musician @robinkester.com. Listen here:

#NEW Robin Kester komt met haar melancholische, dromerige popliedjes op 5 december naar Rotown! Binnenkort komt haar nieuwe album ‘Dark Sky Reserve’ uit, een album vol weelderige arrangementen waar o.a. strijkers, synths en fuzzy gitaren naadloos in elkaar samensmelten: www.rotown.nl/bl/robinkester
