Ha Ha Heartbreak (Vinyl LP)

It has been half a decade since Warhaus, the brainchild of Maarten Devoldere (Balthazar), suddenly conquered our musical hearts with the triumphant double victory of 'We Fucked a Flame into Being' (2016) and 'Warhaus' (2017).

The songs of the brand new album, 'Ha Ha Heartbreak', came gushing out if him in a mere three weeks in the sultry city of Palermo. All Devoldere needed was the solitude of a hotel
room, a guitar, a microphone, and a heart that had recently been broken in thousands of pieces. The sorrow was hard to handle so, of course, Sicily was an escape. But as it goes, those who try to outrun life quickly run into themselves.

Song after song, Maarten Devoldere dismantles his own pose. He looks at himself without mercy and, honestly, what he sees doesn't exactly make him happy. The sound, however, remains wonderfully light. It swings and glows with tantalizing strings, sensual backing vocals, horns, playful piano parts, anything to lighten the load. It allows 'Ha Ha Heartbreak' to be a moving emotional exploration as well as a vessel of great musical richness.

Our Grading Standards
We grade all vinyl using the Goldmine standard:
Mint (M): Perfect, unplayed condition.
Near Mint (NM): Nearly perfect with minimal signs of handling.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows light signs of play but plays with minimal surface noise. The most common grade for collectable vinyl.
Very Good (VG): Noticeable marks and some surface noise, but still an enjoyable listen.
Good (G): Heavy wear — for collectors only.

All records are graded visually and by play. Media and sleeve are graded separately.
