Five years after his previous solo record, Flip Kowlier returns with Arme Zundaers, an album that keeps things grounded in the human experience. His focus falls on Mark—a man living on the fringes of society, whose good intentions sometimes lose out to a flawed moral compass. Musically, the album navigates between rootsy rhythms and catchy pop melodies, with the spirit of blues and New Orleans rumbling beneath the surface. This time, Kowlier wanted to hear a band playing; no overproduced affair, just a group of musicians feeding off each other’s energy. Arme Zundaers perfectly captures that organic warmth—at times wonderfully subtle, at others delightfully bombastic.
In the spring of 2027, Flip Kowlier will tour Belgium as a solo artist, bringing Arme Zundaers to the stage alongside his trusted bandmates. “I can get quite sentimental about how special it is to make live music. The fact that we’ll soon be sharing a stage again feels even more precious in the age of AI.” Amen."
