Intergalactic Lovers
Band Aalst Belgium Formed 2008 Belgian indie rock band
Intergalactic Lovers formed in 2008 in Aalst, Belgium. Intergalactic Lovers has 7 chart appearances on 4 radio countdowns from 1 station on RockLists, spanning 2011–2022. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Delay”, which appears on 1 list with a best position of #8. The station that charted Intergalactic Lovers most often is Studio Brussel (Flanders, Belgium), with 7 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2011.
Intergalactic Lovers took shape in Aalst in the summer of 2008, after a couple of their members had already tried their luck at Humo's Rock Rally earlier that year as Free Zamunda! and gone home empty-handed. They reshuffled, took the new name, and it clicked: Lara Chedraoui on lead vocals, Maarten Huygens on guitar, Raf De Mey on bass and Brendan Corbey on drums.
In 2009 they won both the Oost-Vlaams Rockconcours and Rock Rally De Beloften, and "Fade Away" landed on the playlists at Studio Brussel and Radio 1. "Delay" did better still: Studio Brussel made it a Hotshot and it went all the way to the top of De Afrekening. They paid for their debut album themselves, and Greetings & Salutations arrived on 25 March 2011 to warm notices in HUMO and De Standaard, with "She wolf" riding alongside "Delay". By December they'd collected a Music Industry Award for Best Breakthrough Band.
It's moody, melodic indie rock, ringing guitars wrapped around Chedraoui's smoky, soaring voice. Warner Music put out Little Heavy Burdens on 14 February 2014, their richest record yet with "Islands", "Great Evader", "Northern Rd" and "No Regrets", and after a long gap Liquid Love turned up in 2022.
