(yes, we ‘re taking our time for it)
Both restless and soothing.
Intimate and mesmerizing.
OUTER is the alter ego of composer Tom Soetaert, who wrote his debut album (2019) on a sheep farm in Bárðardalur, Northern Iceland. It was released on Swedish pianolabel 1631 Recordings, got 4-star reviews in national newspapers and blogs, and has been praised at radio’s such as BBC Sounds, StuBru, Klara and KEXP.
In between albums, OUTER made soundtracks and reworks, in collaboration with Sohnarr, Illuminine and Mabe Fratti.
New work is expected to be released in 2025, taking their unique cinematic blend of contemporary classical, dreampop and ambient postrock to new horizons.
Updates about new work and live dates will be posted on the socials!
OUTER live features Tom Soetaert, Nicolas Delépine, Arne De Tremerie, Laurens Van Bouwelen and Wanthanee Wadngam.
