Spencer had a blast last friday at Het Groot Verlof: Beleuvenissen III. You can look at some beautiful pics by Karel Uyttendaele here!

Spencer the Rover & The Late Chamber Players / Botanique

Here and here are two nice reviews from the concert at The Botanique last monday! Stay tuned for more appearences of Spencer the Rover and the Late Chamber Players!

Spencer the Rover made his debut as filmcomposer! Spencer was asked to make the music for this wonderful stop motion picture from British animation duo Parabella for the Belgian National Lottery's Christmas campaign. Enjoy, and have a happy New Year!

The Late Album is getting rave reviews in Belgian Press. Check this out:

"Belgian craftmanship with international flavour!" (Philippe De Cleen, DaMusic)

"an inventive, luxurious, melodious, delicately arranged and punctually produced record" (Serge Simonart, HUMO)

"Tenderness, humour, softness and virtuosity on all levels!" (Thierry Coljon, LE SOIR)

The Late Album will be released on september 15th, but first there's the new single & music video: "Late March". Enjoy!

Here, you can view a nice video from "Everyone Must Die" as played on 24th of May at Het Depot in Leuven. Here and here, you can read some beautiful words on the concert. Beautiful words like: "breathtaking", "exquisite", "impressive" & "brilliant".

Listen to "Everyone Must Die" here (while watching the Richard Wilkinsons beautiful artwork). The song about the beauty of life and its not-so-happy ending features Chantal Acda in some angelic vocal interventions. Enjoy!

The Late Album, Spencer the Rover's new piece, will be presented to you at the Depot in Leuven on 24th of May. Spencer will be joined by The Sleepy String Players (13 strings), The Medical Emergency Chamber Ensemble (14 winds and brass players), The Late Choristers (a 6-piece male vocal ensemble with a.o. Tom van Stiphout, Gianni Marzo and Anton Walgrave) to perform the music in all its detail. Also highlights of the previous album "The Accident (and other love stories)" will get a performance. Get your tickets here!

Spencer the Rover is the brainchild of Koen Renders, a musician active as an arranger and keyboard player for recordings of Belgian acts. Occasionally he releases delicious albums with spikey and melancholical popmusic, widely arranged with strings, winds and very sparse electronica.
