King Dick – Romantic Love Shrine LP

King Dick is the solo project of legendary Antwerp-based multi instrumentalist Wim De Busser. He already released 6 albums since 2016 on his own King Dick records. All of them carry his signature lo-fi sound except ‘Hit Box 21’ for which he re-recorded some of the old tracks in a less adventurous way so average Joe himself could also enjoy the sweet songwriting of the king. His new record ‘Romantic Love Shrine’ meets right in the middle as far as audio fidelity goes. Wim clearly upgraded his recording techniques without losing the spontaneous magic from the earlier records. Therefore his songwriting blossoms over the album and makes both garage rock bangers and psychedelic trance trips shine brighter than ever. Songs like ‘Hypnotic Introduction/Ready For More’ split you mind wide open and make you drift away from the cartooneske Love Is Always Good To Me while title track ‘Romantic Love Shrine’ pushes you in the more familiar goofy garage pit. Wim is also active as Jazz pianist and played for: The Baboons, Zita Swoon, Stef Kamil Carlens, Helmut Lotti, The Colorist w/ Emiliana Torrini, Howe Gelb, Gabriël Rios…
