Belgian’s national Radio 1 “Cucamonga” show called toman “Belgium’s best musical secret” and their demo’s got full support from radio (Studio Brussel“Duyster”) and press (Oor magazine).After enjoying an excellent liveshow, we decided at Zealrecords it was time for this band to get their first album recorded and released...and here it is...”Catching a grizzly bear, lesson one” was recorded at the band’s homestudio and mixed by Jurgen de Blonde from De Portables.The result is a trip through dreamy guitarscapes with some sparse but well used vocals. As if Explosions in the Sky and American Analog Set would play together with nextdoor Grandaddy humming along...
Toman is a quartet from West-Flanders. They fancy old analogue synths and mix them into their organic rocksound with lots of tension build-ups and eruptions. Their demo got airplay on Stubru (Duyster and Radar) and Radio 1. The Dutch magazine Oor added them to their underground top20 of best bands for 2004. That year Tomàn did their first tour abroad, in Spain. In Belgium they did support acts for Death Cab For Cutie, Windsor For The Derby and David Eugene Edwards, to name but a few. The first full
album, "Catching a Grizzly Bear, Lesson One", mixed by Jürgen De Blonde (aka Köhn) of De Portables, was released in april 2005 on Zeal Records. Expect subtle postrock with hermetic lyrics. Think American Analog Set, Explosions In The Sky, Grandaddy.
