Isbells’ acoustic folk sound has drawn comparisons to the plucking skills of Nick Drake, the harmony vocals of Fleet Foxes and the melancholy of Bon Iver. Their 2009 self-titled debut has been labeled as a classic and their live concerts are among the most sophisticated and subtly intimate sets. In the meantime, Isbells has collected millions of streams on Spotify, with the beautiful 'Dreamer' as the highlight, which is on its way to no less than 80 million streams.

With Chantal Acda, Christophe Vandewoude, Gianni Marzo and Gerd Van Mulders Gaëtan Vandewoude gathered a strong group of musicians around him to shape his songs.

Two years ago, Gaëtan drew up a manifesto named ‘Basegemiti’. A checklist with ten statements to test the motivation with which he made music together with his band.

E VERYTHING STARTS with SINCERITY
A RT is FROM PEOPLE, BY PEOPLE, FOR PEOPLE
S HARING is EXISTING
G OOD VIBES and FUN are IMPORTANT in the PROCESS
I NSPIRE and BE INSPIRED
T AKE YOURSELF SERIOUS but NOT THAT SERIOUS
B E FAIR, KIND and TRANSPARENT
M ONEY, SUCCESS and ATTENTION are all SECONDARY GOALS
I NDEPENDENCE is A VIRTUE
E VERYTHING ENDS with SINCERITY

That is why there is now ‘Basegemiti’. The title of this album is composed of the first letter of each statement.
