Spoegwolf Lente album launch, September 22
Fan favourite Spoegwolf has been busy over the last year, putting together something which promises to be its best and biggest yet.
The Paarl band is launching its Lente album that harks back to the members’ years as children in the Boland, but also has something hopeful for their future as musicians in a brilliant but broken world.
In 2022, the much-loved band released its album Droombrief, a collection of love letters of sorts, with poetic lyrics that pull at the heartstrings and make full use of Spoegwolf’s perfected sentimental sound.
Catch the show on Friday at the Atterbury Theatre from 19:00.
