Biography

Mark Van Hoen (born September 1966, Croydon, London, England) is an English electronic music artist. He has created music under his own name as well as Locust, and Autocreation. Pitchfork said, "Musically, Van Hoen belongs to a distinguished family tree. Originally influenced by the likes of Brian Eno and Tangerine Dream, and later presaging both Autechre's glitch and Boards of Canada's pastoral IDM, with his latest album Van Hoen would fit in just as well alongside White Rainbow or Atlas Sound on a current label like Kranky: He combines oceanic drone with pop lyricism, using technology as a catalyst." In 1993, Van Hoen signed with the Belgian-based record label, R&S. The initial releases were as Locust and used vintage analogue synthesizers and tape recorders. As the Locust sound moved towards an increasingly more vocal oriented approach in the late 1990s, Van Hoen also began to release music under his own name. In October 2013, Black Hearted Brother, Van Hoen's collaboration with Neil Halstead, released their debut album, Stars Are Our Home.

LYRICS

Stabbed in the heart, life's falling apart
Never look back, but I don't want to
Your selfish ways will catch up one day

Never look back



I guess we just went downhill

A shame, but life is cruel

Should have known, we became so silent

I didn't ask, but I wanted to



The connection, barely worth it

I'm confused, and honestly dry

Now I'm asking master questions

It seemed natural at the time



Now my bed is free

Crushed pillows, rolled back sheets

Now the mess is mine

I can do whatever I like



We're banging our heads together

Crossed wires, we do intrude

My hopes and wishes are blasted

You dumb girl, it was never you



I guess we just went downhill

Aware of the fact we clash

No love is ever perfect

We made the effort, and now it's passed
