l'asset

L’Asset: a quirky alt-artpop band from Haarlem, The Netherlands. Their music is flamboyant in its base, intense but never heavy handed and in Tessa’s clear, Britpop-type voice, that has often been compared to that of Florence + The Machine, Kate Bush and Björk you always feel a sense of urgency. Making music is her way of understanding and streamlining her emotions and the world around her: it’s her therapy. L’Asset is the band formed around singer, songwriter and producer Tessa Lamers. The name makes them one, yet they’re modular in form. With powerhouse musicians Alex Haak (guitar), Max Coenders (drums) and Dillan Sondervan (synths, live electronics) they create and ecclectic sound that immediately pulls you in. Grooving synthbasses, out-of-the-box rhythms, powerful yet shimmering guitarhooks with sparks of shredding are combined with 80’s inspired synths that don’t shy away from the big pop-atmosheres. Their songs can be seen as the ultimate anthems for chaos, quirkiness and self-love and the constant desire for adventure, buzz and reinvention.
