Applause

Applause is a debut album that came out on the 22 March 2010. The album has 11 tracks and four of them are singles: “Fifteen Floors”, “Hunger at the Door”, “I’ll Stay Here” and “The Boatman”.

Applause got to the list of the best Belgian final album of 2010 and on 7 January 2011 Balthazar received a Music Industry Award for “Best Album 2010” on MIA’s 2010 list.

In one of the interviews Jinte Deprez told about the title of the album:

We chose Applause for the title because it’s so bombastic and big, whereas we like to think of our music as being subtle and empty. So for us, it was obvious that it was an ironic title. Not too many people get it though, but that’s okay, we still think it’s a beautiful word.
