bio

After two years of writing in his home studio, Bert Verbeke decided to bring his music out into the world. During try-outs, his songs resonated deeply with audiences, finding their way under their skin. His solo work breathed calm and was characterized by sensitivity and spaciousness, perfectly suited to smaller stages and intimate living room concerts.

A first selection of songs was mixed and produced by Fredrik Vogsborg, the Norwegian producer known for his work with AURORA, Casiokids, and The Megaphonic Thrift. With that Scandinavian touch, the first finished tracks came to life.

The ambition to conquer larger stages brought Verbeke together with Michaël Degreef (Noémie Wolfs, Yong Yello) and Gerben Brys (HONEY, Ottla), with whom he began creating and recording again, once more alongside the trusted Norwegian producer. In their search for an even more layered live sound, Elisabeth De Loore (DE VICKY) completed the lineup. the.king.lost was born.

Following the earlier releases ‘Not Like Yesterday’, ‘Magnet, ‘Want’ and ‘Many Reasons’ we finally hear what this album sounds like: eclectic, narrative and dreamy.
