We at Unday Records have always been big fans of the quiescent yet magnificent work of Jan Swerts, so we were delighted to have him join the ranks for his fourth album. 'Oud Zeer’ (Old Grief) was released in the winter of 2021, it's a theme album about graveyards, death and transience. The ten piano songs are all named after epitaphs that Swerts read in recent years. 'Oud Zeer’ is a memento mori, in which Swerts, in his distinctive blend of singer-songwriter and classical music, reminds the listener of the comforting fact that we will soon be gone forever.
