Rik Elstgeest – bekend als frontman, schrijver en componist van Eckhardt And The House (goed voor meer dan 5 miljoen streams wereldwijd) – stapt uit zijn comfortzone. Op de aankomende EP Altijd Ergens Een Feestje, die dit najaar verschijnt, zingt hij voor het eerst in het Nederlands.

De EP telt vier verhalende liedjes die ieder een ander facet van het leven belichten. Van een nachtelijke zoektocht naar verbinding (Feestje), tot een vrouw die haar leven overziet op de loopband (Gym). Van een man die net te laat is om zijn dromen waar te maken (Te Laat), tot een liefdevolle boodschap aan een dochter die haar plek in de wereld nog zoekt (Duik). Eckhardt And The House zoals je ze kent – maar dan in het Nederlands, rijker in laag, intiemer in toon, urgenter dan ooit.

De tweede single Gym verschijnt op 19 september en zet deze nieuwe fase met melancholische dadpop voort, geproduceerd door Ruben Samama (o.a. Gabriel Rios, Jonathan Jeremiah). Bezongen in licht ironische poëzie : Dit keer over een vrouw die in de sportschool,liggend op haar yogamat, reflecteert op haar leven …een beetje ingehaald door de tijd en een beetje onthecht. Je zou het een lichte midlifecrises kunnen noemen. “Ze rookte ooit nog shag, dat vond toen niemand gek en ze danst nog steeds het liefst ... op Fleedwood Mac "

Laat je verrassen. Laat je raken. Luister Te Laat – en ontdek Eckhardt And The House zoals je ze nog niet eerder hoorde.

Rik Elstgeest — frontman, writer, and composer of Eckhardt And The House (with over 5 million streams worldwide) — is stepping out of his comfort zone. On the upcoming EP Altijd Ergens Een Feestje, out this fall, he sings in Dutch for the very first time.

The four narrative songs each shine a light on a different facet of life: from a nocturnal search for connection (Feestje), to a woman reflecting on her life while running on a treadmill (Gym). From a man just missing his chance to realize his dreams (Te Laat), to a loving message for a daughter still finding her place in the world (Duik). It’s Eckhardt And The House as you know them — but now in Dutch, richer in layers, more intimate in tone, and more urgent than ever.

The second single, Gym, out September 19, continues this new chapter with melancholic “dad pop,” produced by Ruben Samama (Gabriel Rios, Jonathan Jeremiah). Told with lightly ironic poetry, it follows a woman lying on her yoga mat, quietly coming to terms with a life slightly overtaken by time, slightly detached. You could call it a mild midlife crisis: “She once smoked roll-ups — back when no one thought twice — and still prefers to dance… to Fleetwood Mac.”

Let yourself be surprised. Let yourself be moved. Listen to Gym — and discover Eckhardt And The House like you’ve never heard them before.

No One To Blame
By: Matt Menovcik

V1 
If none of this matters anymore
Then what are we arguing for?
When truth is really what you believe
And pretending is the way that we live

C 
We tell ourselves what we need to hear
Just to make it through another day
We see ourselves as we want to be 
When really we’re all just the same
There’e really no one to blame

V2
How do we want it to be?
What would really satisfy?
The narrative’s been changed so many times
And all around us is greed

C.

Br
We just can’t stop
We keep moving on 
Why do we race to the end?
Is this what we really want?

C
There’s really no one to blame (x3)
But ourselves

lyrics:

i want money but me n u arent the same
i got habits put drugs in my regimen
tf is going on im off the ambien
fingers going numb from counting benjamins
x2

baby save me
i kno im a lost soul
find me chase me
running from the law so
x2

pop out w the glock im on the ceiling w the strap
im not gonna stop nd u wont ever catch me lack
clean up w the mop and it keep tracking all my stats
no u cannot run or hide i see u on the map

nd i see u is a mess
nd i see u is a wreck
and i kno u cannot flex
cuz i see u broke ur neck

when will i be mad enough
when will i b sad enough
waiting 4 the level up
finish up another song

fill a bowl and hit the blunt
fill a bowl and hit the bong
pop a pill im nodding off
sittin chilling not enough

i want money but me n u arent the same
i got habits put drugs in my regimen
tf is going on im off the ambien
fingers going numb from counting benjamins
x2

hunnid bands

ur like a little toxin makin me sick 

im so sick of fallin under ur tricks

all that gossip u wanna talk gon com back to u quick (it’s gon get real bad)

Is it ever gon click (I doubt that)

Do you wanna ascend? (I’ll be ur animus)

Why we gotta pretend (I’m in nirvana)

Stayin up late by the window for the last time felt like just might never end

You can’t match my energy 

How am I forgetting when it’s time to leave ?yeah 

Im in nirvana

Feels like an earthquake heard it from a mile away 

Meet me by the lake 

Imma tell you how to get away 

On the metro to your place again

when i show up i aint bringin inhibitions

My false steps keep weighing on my conscious 

Nights fall faster winter solstice 

Hate the city 'cause the night is starless

On purpose breathing in toxins

Girl, what i wanna give you is chronic

Making your head go supersonic

lyrics:
i don't know where to go from here
all i live is in fear
all of it is crystal clear
can u teach me how to dissapear?
what am i even doing here?
happiness is nowhere near
all i live is in fear
crying in moncler
none of these things will matter in a year
i can never change 
i'm always deranged
psycho and unphased
[retracted]
that's why i'm insane, not a phase
none of these things will change
where do i even go from here?

HEART ATTACK!
