When it came to making their fourth album, ‘Chorophobia’, critically-acclaimed Dutch duo Weval faced their fears. Despite being grouped into the dance scene since their 2013-released debut EP ‘Half Age’ and going on to play festival stages including Nuits Sonores, Lowlands, Primavera, Best Kept Secret, Pukkelpop and DGTL Amsterdam with their five-piece band, Harm Coolen and Merijn Scholte have actively pushed away from being known as a floor-filling act. In fact, when the world-touring pair’s self-titled 2016 debut was awarded Best Dance Album at the Edison Awards in their native Holland, they thought they had been nominated in the wrong genre – especially as they were in the same category as EDM DJ Martin Garrix. Such reluctance makes sense: the friends - who have sold out headline shows at the prestigious Royal Concertgebouw and iconic Paradiso in their hometown Amsterdam - got their start in the film industry and have always made music that’s on the more introspective and cinematic edge of the electronic scene.
