Ciska Ciska unveils debut single ‘Biotope’

‘Biotope’ is the impressive debut single of Ciska Ciska, project of 25-year-old Ghent-based singer songwriter Ciska Dhaenens, one of Belgium’s biggest talents in indie folk music. 

Drawing influence from contemporary alt country greats like Julia Jacklin and Adrianne Lenker (Big Thief), Biotope wraps gentle guitar around Dhaenens’ warm and golden voice, in a wonderful marriage of intimate folk and Americana

“Writing Biotope made me realize how much I believe in life’s beauty,” Ciska explains. “Even when it’s completely out of sight.”

Ciska will perform at the renowned Best Kept Secret Festival mid-June. This Sunday, she opens for jazz legend Jamie Cullum at a the iconic Queen Elisabeth Hall in Antwerp.
