Jozef van Wissem has revealed his latest solo record, When Shall This Bright Day Begin. Due out March 18th through the Belgium label Consouling Sounds, the eight-song effort features a couple vocal collaborations with Zola Jesus.
Which is no surprise; the singer also worked on van Wissem’s score for the Jim Jarmusch movie Only Lovers Left Alive, opening the door to the “experimental dark folk/rock-orientated emphasis” he embraced this time around.
UPDATE: As someone pointed out on Twitter, van Wissem released this record a little early via Bandcamp. Stream it in full below.
