About is Rutger Hoedemaekers form Amsterdam, and “Bongo” is his debut album 3 years in the making. Having dealt with 4 collapsed lungs while producing it, Rutger makes good by creating what will surely be one of this years first Indy breakthrough records.
Straddling the realms of Indy-rock, electronica, pure pop with a tiny pinch of breakcore, he’s created a masterful record full of songs that get stuck in your head, full of tiny details you only hear after repeat listening. But “Bongo” is far from another boring indy-tronica record; it’s got this slight pissed-off edge while remaining both literate and thoroughly gratifying.

“Bongo” is being championed by some of the best magazines and festivals in Europe after exploding on the scene in the past few months. Now we’re happy to bring it to the USA for full release. “Bongo” has already seen lots of advance airplay at many of the larger alternative radio stations in the country such as KXLU- LA, WXYC-Chapel Hill, WVUM- Miami, KEXP- Seattle, WRAS-Atlanta, WFMU-NYC. He’ll be appearing at CMJ Music Marathon in October, and will also be doing a full north American tour around that time too, so get used to seeing a lot of this guy!
