From HOLLAND •
There's no stopping Roofman. Today, the prolific Dutch songwriter releases yet another single and live video. 'Two Buckets Of Dreams' is the second single of upcoming EP 'The ATL EP', which will be out on October 6th.
Roofman about the song: "Sometimes writing a song is a spiritual thing. After binge-watching Twin Peaks for two weeks, this song just fell out of the sky. I think it’s about not taking everything too seriously, trying to live up to your dreams but not to be too sad when things don’t turn out the way you wanted them to. Just embrace ‘that it is what it is’."
Wistful folk songs, which always have a certain indie fragility. Thijs van der Meulen alias Roofman has this special charisma that makes people listen to him. His melancholic songs, which he sometimes breaks with humorous announcements, have great melodies and are, in the best sense, intense. "The joy of sadness," as he calls it, seems to touch people. He succeeds just as well in an intimate setting as in a larger club when he's on the road with his band - the effect is the same, only the musical variety and volume are different. 'The ATL EP' will be released on Clouds Hill in October 2023, following the release of debut album 'Still The Mess I Was' earlier this year.
'The ATL EP' is an americana-infused indie-folk record, recorded on a vintage Tascam 388 8track tape machine in an Atlanta basement accompanied by his American friends Rhett Shull (guitar/production), Philip Conrad (bass) and Chad Collins (keys/drums).
