Acoustic guitar and jazzy rhythms complement lyrics both darkly humorous and poetic. Order the album online - visit www.tristanwaterkeyn.com for more details. "Hay Day" is the kind of CD I'd want to have accompany me on thousands of kilometres of sailing. It's a "lie back in your hammock, look at the horizon and let the movement gently rock you" sort of album. It's melodies spin themselves from lyrical yarn, the instrumentation's brightly colourful and it's all woven closely together by a silky smooth voice. Poetic, ambiguous words and jovial, sometimes theatrical play on instruments are an invitation to delve into layers of meaning. * "Accoustic guitar and refined rhythms complement poetic, darkly humorous lyrics. This album is positively mellow, contemplative and catchy as a cold." - TNT MAGAZINE UK * "Tristan Waterkeyn, talented Cape Town newcomer, has been compared to Jack Johnson for his laid-back songwriting style... His music is a combination of languid lyrics, effortless acoustic guitar, jazzy rhythms and gentle vocals." - Elle Magazine South Africa * "a group of impossibly smooth compositions shown off at their best courtesy of the exquisite clarity of the production. In terms of the overall sound and the attention to detail, this album should appeal to fans of everyone from Sade to the Buena Vista Social Club." - The Citizen - South Africa Inspired singer song writer, soulful writing with a complex lyrical form and simple beautiful melodies. "A Jazz laden bass guitar Chases these, fluttering keys, To the warm embrace of vocal harmony, While in the darkness, the swish and swing of brushes on skin, are driving a Hammond to frenzy." Influenced by : Tristan Waterkeyn is influenced by a number of talented artists/.
