Fourteen Twentysix

Fourteen Twentysix is the cryptic alias of Dutch' atmospheric rockband, founded in Eindhoven in 2006. Fourteen Twentysix delicately layes experimental alt/post rock, brooding electronics and fragile singer/songwriter, into melancholic, filmic songs. This is not music for the masses but music that demands listeners to take their time, allowing them to discover something new and different with each rotation.
