Classic Albums: Spinvis listening session and Q&A

Listening session and interview with the most unique one-man band in the Netherlands.

We listen together to the first album by Spinvis, which was released in 2002. This idiosyncratic record has grown into one of the most influential Dutch-language debuts of the past decades.

With songs like Voor ik vergeet and Bagagedrager, Spinvis introduced a new sound: poetic, dreamy, and personal. Voor ik vergeet later became a staple in the Top 2000, and the album itself was praised by critics and audiences for its unique tone. Spinvis once said about creating it: “I had no plan. Just a few songs and an old recorder. The rest happened naturally.”

In between listening to the songs, we will talk with Spinvis, led by Menno Pot, about the creation of this album. After this special listening experience, there will be a signing session in the foyer of the PHIL.
