For more than a decade, Pauwel has been forging his own path through the shadows of the music scene, in various forms and completely indifferent to trends. His characteristically fragile voice and his remarkable talent for small, intimate songs have earned him a growing cult following. Since his debut EP on Unday Records last year, more and more people have been finding their way to his indie folk.

Next spring, Pauwel will present his new album Dear together with his long-time backing band. On his first full-length solo record, Pauwel takes a major step forward. Dear is a mature collection of songs about loss in all its forms. With complete openness, Pauwel confronts his inner demons, without ever losing sight of the essence: exceptionally strong songs that drift between hope and despair, both striking and soothing at the same time. An album to cherish and get completely lost in.
