Description
Weval (Harm Coolen & Merijn Scholte Albers) are an Amsterdam based duo who have established a solid reputation across the globe for crafting highly textured and sophisticated electronic music. Pitchfork were quick to praise the talent of the duo, highlighting the fully formed nature of their songwriting, sublime pacing and monolithically tasteful atmosphere is remarkable in their 8.0 review for Wevals self-titled debut album in 2016.
New EP Changed for the Better set for release on Ninja Tune imprint Technicolour in November 2021 is yet further evidence of two musicians willing to push their own boundaries in search of greater new heights. Since they first released their Half Age EP in 2014 on Michael Mayers legendary Cologne based Kompakt label, Weval have strived to test and improve their songwriting abilities by incorporating their own vocals and live instrumentation into their recordings.
Previous press coverage for the duo has been impressive, including Pitchfork - Album Review (8.0), Billboard, Resident Advisor, Mixmag (print), Vice, Clash, SPIN, Brooklyn Vegan, Crack Magazine, Dummy and more. Previous US radio support from KEXP, KCRW, Beats in Space, KXSF, WNMC, and more.
Weval have had stellar host of remixes on their work by the likes of Michael Mayer, Red Axes, Kasper Bj¯rke and have remixed Local Natives, Luwten, and The Acid.
Weval have produced a soundtrack for Schweppes commercial starring Penelope Cruz, and have had tracks featured in TV shows Good Girls, Industry, & the BBC hit drama I May Destroy You by Michaela Coel.
