Belgium may be a small country, but the number of great musicians per capita is extremely high. Always has been, by the way. Only one small piece of evidence to support my thesis: this week’s Carte Blanche Music Wildcard is by a Belgian band, just like last week, when Soulwax’s Do You Want To Get Into Trouble? featured prominently on this blog.

One of best known Belgian bands in recent years is Triggerfinger. Not because they have so many hits, but because they are such an incredible live band. They’ve played every venue and every festival around. If you haven’t done so before, please go and see one of their shows and you’ll be sold.

Their new single Flesh Tight adds a touch of Roxy Music and David Bowie to Triggerfinger’s typical hard, bluesy, stoner rock sound. I could hear it all week. And so can you, for the next seven days you’ll find the track at the top of this blog, only one click away from pleasing your ears.
