Biographie de Library Card
Expressive yet thoughtful, abrasive yet melodious, explosive yet introvert: Rotterdam’s
Library Card are a band of contrasts. This is reflected in the group’s structure, the band
being a tight-knit unit of four entirely different characters. The quartet started out in the
summer of 2021, and it doesn’t seem too far-fetched to state that a little part of that period’s
agitation has latched itself to the band’s music, which restlessly fluctuates from angular
post-punk to magnificent post-rock and fast-paced garage. Even in a city that’s known for its
wayward guitar music, Library Card has quickly become a standout.
Spearheaded by Lot van Teylingen, whose spoken word alternates between sardonic and
sincere in a matter of seconds, Library Card leave a lot of room in their music in which their
members can manifest themselves equally, from Emre Karayalçin’s unorthodox,
eye-catching rhythms to Kat Kalkman’s driving bass lines and Mitchell Quitz’s seemingly
shape-shifting guitar performances. To call each of them a cog in a machine would do a
disservice to Library Card’s humane outlook on what being in a band means, but it’s simply
impossible to elevate one element of their spellbinding songs above another.
All of the above is true for Library Card’s studio recordings as well as their live shows, which
have been steadily growing and have turned a few unreleased tracks into bona fide fan
favourites already. Within six months of their first official gig (May 2022), Library Card were
supporting London’s Sports Team in a 2000 capacity hall, and playing the closing set
atRotterdam’s infamous showcase festival Left of the Dial. Other highlights have included
support slots for OSEES, Just Mustard, and Kills Birds, and vivacious shows at tastemaking
Dutch festivals like Loose Ends, Grauzone and Valkhof. The band have also broadened their
horizon playing in Germany, France, Austria and the Czech Republic.
