New single Meteor On The Rise (6'30) is out now and for the time being exclusively sold for 1€ (or more if you feel like it) through Bandcamp. All proceeds are donated to a highly necessary food project from Huis van de Mens in Ghent (B). You can listen to the entire track before deciding to buy it. As someone described it: "Very much Blanchart, this dreamy moody groove with some subtly added Bowie, Art of Noise and Pink Floyd flavours." Warning: contains 2 (!) guitar solos by axe master Stef Delbaere.
