Description

Formed in 2013 by Laetitia (vocals and guitar), Go By Brooks is a melancholic rock band composed of five members (Nicolas Palumbo, guitars, Sacha Heck, bass, Jérôme Moes, keys, Tom Roilgen, drums). The subtle harmonies and instrumental parts, along with Laetitia’s darker lyrics have played a key role in the Luxembourgish band’s style from the start. After the release of their first EP Rivers in 2015 and Oceans in 2016, the band finally released their first album in December 2018. Another Flame, which was recorded and mixed by Werner Pensaert at Linster Studios in summer 2017 and 2018, and mastered by Gert Van Hoof at Cochlea Audio Editing and Mastering contains ten new songs in line with previous projects. The subjects that are covered are the quest for identity, desire and commitment. The band remains faithful to melancholic rock and the instrumental parts add depth to the songs as usual. So, Go By Brooks is a contrast between light and darkness, in honour of the poet who inspired the band’s name, Leonard Cohen: “There is a crack in everything, That’s how the light gets in.” The band has played numerous concerts in Luxembourg and the greater region over the last few years. In addition to their rock performances, Go By Brooks also offers an acoustic formula. The band’s first album Another Flame has been presented at Kulturfabrik (Esch-Alzette, L) in December 2018. In 2021, they released their first live album Go By Brooks – Live at Aalt Stadhaus. The band is currently working on the finalization of their new album which is planned to be released in spring 2022.
