The very first Postcards From Mars song was born on a meadow, in the summer of 2011. After a couple of years of writing and releasing 4 digital EP's into the world, Bart decided that it was time to make something more tangible. Working with a small team of creative friends and musicians, Bart managed to record and release the first Postcards From Mars record in entirely independent. The result is a beautiful 12" vinyl with a collection of eleven personal songs about growing older, holding onto love, longing to travel and choosing who you want to be. First single 'Breathe' is accompanied by a moody music video, which was added to the MTV Brand New rotation in April.
Challenging himself to explore unknown territory with his guitar and writing songs along the way has been the main drive behind the debut album called 'Growth'. Bart feels that the change of scenery, driving down long empty roads and facing the most impressive views in nature influenced the overall feel of the record a lot. The sound can be compared to Patrick Watson, Paul Simon and Death Cab For Cutie. Inspired by his travels, Bart dreams to take his music abroad and play for an international audience.
After a three month tour throughout the Netherlands with 16 Popronde shows and a summer filled with festival gigs and a couple of nice support shows, Postcards From Mars has built a strong and dynamic live set. A 6-piece band accompanies Bart on stage. Debut album 'Growth' was released on April 7 2016, accompanied by a release show in EKKO, Utrecht. The album received loving words and was #1 on the 3voor12 Luisterpaal for a week.
In 2016, Bart also worked with Scotch & Soda to create brand songs for their New York Fashion Week show, performing them live during their presentation show in NYC.
