#max meser

Leo en algunos comentarios entusiastas que Max Meser ha sido la revelación del último Purple Weekend celebrado este fin de semana en León. No conocía al holandés y he procedido a su escucha para verificar si los comentarios son desaforados o no, y me he quedado sorprendido por su frescura pop por encima de la media. Max tiene dos LPs, “Change” y “Pictures”, a los que habrá que hincar el diente como es debido.

Dutch/Spanish songwriter Max Meser has been on our Ones To Watch list for 2016, and as we’re already into the second quarter of the year we thought it might be a good moment to do a quick catch-up of his year so far. Let’s start with January: we’ve seen him opening the musical year in January at Groningen’s Noorderslag festival with his band. In February Max suddenly announced his debut album Change, with a release date scheduled for early April, so last week. His first Dutch festival slots have been confirmed and to fill the gap until the album One Day was exposed to the world. Being one of their ‘Serious Talents’ the single gets played about twice a day on national Dutch radio station 3FM, no está mal. A first spin of the album makes us aware of his progress. Although we heard him play for an hour at his single release already, most album tracks appear to be fairly new or rewritten. Where previously Weak For Love was the real highlight of his set, Meser now posesses a much broader catalog he can use to vary his setlist. He might not be the Dutch or Spanish Bob Dylan yet, but the times are certainly changin’. Enjoy!
