In 2021 Mirabelle van de Put (bass & backing vocals for Nightwitches, Barbie Bangkok and Louie Louie) made a bold decision to step out of her comfort zone and venture into uncharted territory; pursuing a solo project. This marked the birth of HAZE, her new musical endeavor. Despite the challenges of a full pandemic and lockdown, her self-titled debut was warmly received.

In her second album, “Out of Sight,” Mirabelle shifts her focus towards experimenting with sound and samples. Eager to explore what is just out of reach. Everyday sounds are skillfully distorded and artfully woven into the music, avoiding sterile and predictable tones in favor of organic, slightly off-kilter sounds.

To bring her vision to life, Mirabelle collaborated with the talented musician and sound wizard Stijn Vanmarsenille, known for his work with Drums Are For Parades and Elefant. Additionally, she teamed up with the gifted musician and sound engineer / producer Frederik Segers, known for his contributions to Intergalactic Lovers and Hooverphonic. Jakob Nachtergaele (Absynthe Minded, played drums on the record and Miguel Moors and Tom Goethals each played a gorgeous guitar part on the record.

The outcome of this collaboration is a collage of sounds and spheres that wholeheartedly embraces imperfections and accentuates flaws, all the while staying true to the essence of each song.

The video clip for “Hiding” is created by Naomi Kerkhove. Naomi studied multimedia design at the KASK (School of Fine Arts) in Ghent, Belgium, and developed her work in the border region of comic strip, textile design, performance and film. In her installations and performances she creates a poetic miniature world and the center of which is wonderment. With comic strip material, stitched textiles and animation films she builds strange landscapes in which lost figures wander around. Her work shows great sensitivity to the human condition, in which existential solitude and receptiveness to the beauty of reality go hand in hand.
