la Boutique Fantastique

La Boutique Fantastique is a musical collective led by Rotterdam producers Tijmen Bergman and Maurits Goossens. Their music has been described as “what David Lynch would do with granny’s record collection” and sounds like the soundtrack to a journey through musical history. Yet, their sound is timeless. Their eponymous debut CD is full of melancholic and mysterious melodies and more. Their live shows are equally versatile and a tribute to musicality. A true feast in which a large variety of instruments (including violin, cello, double bass, guitar, keys, samples, turntables, melodica, saxophone, bariton, sopranino, concertina, drums, etc.) play an important role.
