Balthazar’s performance on February 15, 2019, at the Nova Rec. session in Paris, hosted by Radio Nova, delivers an intimate showcase of their refined indie rock and baroque pop style. The acoustic setting highlighted the nuanced interplay of vocalists Maarten Devoldere and Jinte Deprez, emphasizing their emotive delivery. Formed in Ghent, Belgium, in 2004, Balthazar had by 2019 earned acclaim with their album Fever. This stripped-down set stands out for its minimalist production, fostering a sense of closeness and accentuating the band’s lyrical depth.
