Kilmarth finally launches debut IDM album ‘Sociological Veranda’ – Out now
Kilmarth offers experimental glitch single 'Vergessen' with jazz-infused B-Side 'ToExposeTheTruth' - Out now
The Belgian IDM project Kilmarth has finally released a first full album, “Sociological Veranda”. The release comes after releasing a string of singles and EPs over the past 7 years. Musically you will notice that the project has been steadily maturing and refining its sound.
“Sociological Veranda” holds a mix of dark electro tones (check “Fordism and Other Delicacies” for instance), cold atmospheres and even drum and bass elements (“Splintery Fear”). The original IDM elements stay omnipresent though. There is also a very exotic element on “The Dark Samba Complex”, the title says it all.
Personally I was more than charmed by the opening track “Lurking” featuring SIlly Shadow, reminding me of the finest moments of Mnemonic. Other guest singers include Jacky Kolajka on “Vergessen”, Blessing Daniel on “Better Days”, and Echo on “Les Horloges Dérobées”, each being meticulously chosen I must say.
Behind Kilmarth we find Cedric Wattergniaux, a former collaborator with Side-Line magazine. The influences he was baptised with during his decade-long work with us surely was enough inspiration to venture into self producing music. The album is dedicated to Cedric’s father who sadly died a few months ago.

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
