De Mannen Broeders is the new collaboration between Colin H. van Eeckhout (Amenra) and the Zeeuws Flemish folk icon Tonnie 'broeder' Dieleman. The duo is now streaming their contemplative debut single "Gradschrift" alongside a music video shot and edited by Diana Lungu at PKN church in Axel, NL.
On the collaboration, van Eeckhout offered: "As a creating artist, it's these encounters that you pray for. As soon as you meet someone like that, you know you have to do something together."
Dieleman added: "My work is all about death and sadness. For me, music started with my mother dying; my first album is about her death. That's a strong connection with Colin, too, as he lost his father."
De Mannen Broeders will release their debut album Sober Maal on October 11. Sober Maal was written and recorded in under five days at the 18th century church Doopsgezinde Kerk in Middelburg in the Netherlands, courtesy of LeGuessWho? Festival.
