Jean Parlette’s Folktronika

Jean Parlette’s Folktronika

Jean Parlette is a quartet from the North of Holland. Very soon they will take their samplem based Folktronica to a stage near you. Principle songwriter Jos Blomsma started the band in order to take his unique blend of homemade electronics and classical instruments on the road. The charm of an electronic bedroom producer combined with the touch of hairs that once was a tail of a horse, strumming against the strings of cello.

Jean Parlette has been compared to acts such as Tunng and The Notwist, but the unusual line-up and the sometimes even more unusual way the instruments are played make Jean Parlette stand out as an intriguing live band. The electronic elements in their songs are complemented by Laurens van der Meulen’s shimmering rhodes parts, David van Egmond’s exquisite finger-picking and Suze Steemers’ tasteful cello. www.jeanparlette.nl
