LUWTEN
Dutch indie-pop star
reveals new EP
“DOOR”

Dutch abstract pop artist LUWTEN — real name Tessa Douwstra — released her brand new EP entitled “Door” on Friday 11th September. The record comprises five incredible tracks, including promotional singles “Don’t Be A Stranger”, “Airport” and “CONTROL” and serves as a path to Douwstra’s upcoming album Draft.
Each song represents the work of a perfectionist who understands that everything is ever-changing; they are also incredibly personal. For instance, “Don’t Be a Stranger” uses old yodel music from her grandmother’s cassette tape recorder, emphasising the need for familiarity.
LUWTEN’s songs evoke the feeling of an unspoken understanding with someone very close to you: to instinctively know when things can remain unresolved, when they can’t and when it’s okay to let the noise of the world run its course.
“Door” truly encapsulates the term “abstract pop,” combining electro-inspired dark-pop with spliced artificial sounds, organic instrumentation, samples and field recordings.

LUWTEN’s brand of pop explores one of life’s bigger emotional beats: how to reconcile a yearning for both solitude and companionship. It’s a quandary the world of today is suddenly coping with on a massive scale. Though the balance between spending time alone and with others is ever-changing, Douwstra finds solace in small, bemused observations she can clutch onto like cherished mementos.
LUWTEN has fast built a profile throughout Europe, with spins on various radio stations throughout the Netherlands, and now BBC Radio 1 in the UK. The indie-pop star has also seen support across streaming, including spots on New Music Friday in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Deutschland, as well as cracking the Netherlands Viral 50.
“Door” is available to stream on all platforms now.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
