Collection: New Bike

No friction, no shine. The mature sound of Nouveau Vélo has everything to do with the special dynamics between the three core members: Rolf Hupkes, Bart Haverkort and Niek Leenders. Twenty years of close friendship. Many bands grow apart due to an accumulation of personal or creative differences, but with Nouveau Vélo this is simply something that fuels the creative process.

You have to have dyed a lot of rough wool to be mentioned in the same breath as bands like The Feelies, REM or Real Estate. Yet that is exactly what happens with every new album from Volkskrant to VPRO. Oor called Nouveau Vélo the “Brabant kings of Jangle Pop” after their third album Bogland . The three kings send us defenseless Eight Miles High with every listen with Heavenly Pop hits carried by Crazy Rhythms .
