Discography

Album “Call Me an Angel”
November 3rd, 2023
Vastenavondt's third solo album, Call Me an Angel, features nine captivating tracks from the hand of the singer-songwriter, who adopted the stage name Vastenavondt. True to his artistic spirit, every detail matters: the songs, the musicians, the concept—everything must feel just right.
The album's artwork was crafted by fellow musician and friend Stijn Vandebril, whose unique style captures raw emotion like no other. His vision translates beautifully into imagery, perfectly complementing the essence of Call Me an Angel.

Single “The Water"‘s Gone”
October 14th, 2023
Following the release of the title track from the album Call Me an Angel, singer-songwriter Vastenavondt - formerly known as Pete - released a second single on October 14th.
The song "The Water's Gone" was chosen. The impact of the inhuman situation in the port city of Marioepol (Ukraine) was translated into human lyrics, carried by an atmospheric composition that sounds both ominous and reassuring. And, of course, by the unlikely voice of Vastenavondt.

Following the release of "The Power of Almost Nothing" in tumultuous 2020, singer-songwriter Pete - henceforth Vastenavondt - is on his third solo album. The first single released on 22 September is also the title track of the album: "Call Me an Angel".
Expect ambiguously layered lyrics, Vastenavondt style. Be prepared for an earworm, chances are you'll find yourself whistling the song. And above all: enjoy that incredible voice that hushes even the largest crowd.

Album “I am Wilson”
December 2013
"I am Wilson" is the first solo album of singer-songwriter Piet Vastenavondt - Pete.
Think of the sincerity and authenticity of Ryan Adams' lyrics, of the power and emotion of Jeff Buckley's voice, of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's harmonies. Combine all of these elements and you come close to singer-songwriter Pete.
Piet has been writing songs for as long as he can remember. For his band and for other people. But for some of his songs, he just knew he had to release them himself.
Tracks: 1. Would You Come Down - 2. Close to Home - 3. Answering Machine - 4. She goes - 5. This House - 6. What’s the Matter John - 7. Daddy - 8. Heartaches - 9. You move too Fast - 10. Naturally - 11. Keeper of your Heart
