Belgian art rock group Balthazar are practically an institution in their homeland.
In the UK, however, we're going to have to play catch up. The band have a lengthy discography, one that recalls moments of The Cure, Radiohead or even Arcade Fire.
An expansive sound, yet also a humane one, Balthazar have just announced a new UK tour. Ahead of this, Clash is able to premiere the video for 'Wait Any Longer' – a superb treat for fans and a great pick up point for newcomers, you can check it out below.
Alongside this, we can present a Spotify playlist compiled by the band. Balthazar's Michiel explains: "Here are some songs from great bands we like to listen to in the tour bus and/or shared the stage with over the festival summer. This playlist includes the Belgian BRNS, Bed Rugs & Robbing Millions who did some supports in our spring tour."
