PART 02
WESTHINDER is not a band. It’s a place.
It’s about the space between opposites :: where light meets dark, where loss becomes something you can hold. It exists in the uncomfortable place where everything is possible.
After releasing 2 albums, there was a need for something else, a new wind. Going back to Stiens love for music and how to catch that spirit of playfulness, experiment and joy.
Done with constant canva-ing and hyperlinking, the focus is now back on creating. Making and playing music with whoever’s in the room. Some nights it’s a full band. Some nights it’s just Stien.
The name comes from the West-Hinder II, an old lightship anchored in Zeebrugge, the favorite place of Stien Carlier’s late mom Solange. A floating beacon on rough seas. A fixed point where the water was most uncertain. And that’s what WESTHINDER wants to be.
No campaign. No strategy. Just music, for anyone who wants to listen. Two albums, “I” (2022) and “I + I” (2025) exist from the first chapter, and they are both still available on streaming platforms. New releases live only on Bandcamp, when they’re ready. Everything else is just evidence that it happened.
