In this new episode, I have the pleasure to meet This Is The Omen — a quartet born from Brussels’ vibrant jazz scene where drum-and-bass grooves collide with trumpet and tenor sax melodies.
With Jonas Le Roy (tenor saxophone), Gabriel Long (trumpet), Matteo Genovese (bass & synth) and Rob Swennen(drums), the band crafts an intense, cinematic sound built on contrast : dark yet romantic, structured yet free, raw yet poetic.
We talk about the making of their debut album Future Is a Fantasy, their influences from the UK and Berlin jazz scenes, and how Brussels’ multicultural energy shapes their music. From distorted horns to heavy grooves and subtle lyrical touches, This Is The Omen embodies both the anxiety and the hope of our times.
The informations about the group are on their Instagram page.
