Tussen de zee en de bomen is de eerste single van het tweede album van Abel Ghekiere. Geïnspireerd op de klarinetten van Django Reinhardt en de stem van Bill Callahan, zindert de muziek op zoek naar een einde. “Vorige week waren de takken langer dan mezelf”, visuele impressies worden verteld en omgezet in muziek die wiegt en roept. 
Door te werken met voice samples en field recordings staat de stem en improvisatie centraal. Geluiden van buiten worden subtiel verweven met instrumenten, terwijl gesprekken en herinneringen fungeren als rode draad door de composities. De muziek stroomt de kamer binnen en brengt daarbij herinnerde plekken en stemmen met zich mee.
De muziek werd heel nomadisch opgenomen, op verschillende plekken, met verschillende mensen. De meeste partijen werden geschreven en gespeeld door Abel Ghekiere zelf maar met gastbijdrages van o.a. Vitja Pauwels, Nicolas Rombauts, Leo Adamov, & Jan de Vroede breekt de plaat open in een zacht klankpallet.

‘In de verte, dit uitzicht’ is het tweede album van Abel Ghekiere. Het is een viering van schoonheid en plotse uitbarstingen van euforie en melancholie, verstopt in de kenmerkende zachte en breekbare sound van Ghekiere’s muziek. Veel persoonlijker dan op zijn debuutplaat roept hij de wereld toe. ‘Tussen de zee en de bomen’ komt 11 oktober uit op op alle platformen, gereleased bij RotKat records. Het album: In de verte, dit uitzicht verschijnt in februari 2024 met release show op 20 februari in de Botanique, Brussel.
