'Happy Traum' by Daryll-Ann was released on August 23, 1999 and it was only then that 'people' seemed to realize that D\/A really was a brilliant band. Where 'Daryll-Ann Weeps' was only appreciated by a happy few, 'Happy Traum' ended up at number 1 in the Murder List (at the time really a 'big thing', I still remember where I was when this news came through and that I had to cry at Spoor 4 in Amersfoort), it also sold well and some people actually came to the concerts.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e \u003ci\u003eGood times then.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e \u003ci\u003eAnd the best part is that the album still sounds stunningly good twenty years later.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e \u003ci\u003eThat's why we're giving it a good, polished reissue.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e \u003ci\u003eAvailable in good stores from August 23rd.

It turns out to be a golden combination: their mutual feel for electronic and handmade pop. Sofie's voice combined with that delightfully playful swing that always characterizes Benny Sings' music lifts the whole thing to greater heights.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eActually, there was no need for collaboration at the time. Both Sofie Winterson and Benny Sings only recently released highly acclaimed albums, respectively Sophia Electric (Excelsior Recordings) and City Pop (Stones Throw Records). You would think: go and promote them. Rest assured, they do. But artistic blood is thicker than water. Inspiration from these kinds of musicians cannot be restrained. This collaboration is logical and simply had to happen at some point, and everyone is happy about that. \u003cbr\u003ePut two artists with a recognized knack for writing and a certain overlap in taste and approach in a room together, and it can spark artistically. Something can emerge that only those two can make. That is exactly what happens on Sofie Winterson's new EP. Her path recently went from a sensational afternoon concert in the middle of the main hall at Paradiso with the audience in a circle around her, via a few shows at the South By South West festival (SXSW) in Austin, Texas, to the studio of Benny Sings behind the Nieuwmarkt in Amsterdam. That's where it happened.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Benny Sings knows exactly why it works so well between the two of them: 'It was really cool to make this together with Sofie. I think our skills complemented each other perfectly, those songs wrote themselves. I'm happy with the result, they have become really classic songs. Sofie's voice comes forward very nicely.'\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt's hard to choose from the quartet of tracks As Alive, Moral, Love Me Less and Be Bad. They are all four a perfect interweaving of the talents of Sofie Winterson and Benny Sings. That voice and that playfulness.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSofie Winterson herself is at least as enthusiastic about the successful collaboration: 'I've wanted to work with Benny Sings for a while. I think he's a really good songwriter and producer. After making the album Sophia Electric, which I did the songwriting on my own, I thought it would be fun and inspiring to collaborate. Benny Sings agreed to first write a song together in the studio one day and then see how that would go before we made further arrangements. Within a few hours we almost had a song and the production finished, to which he said: \"Come another day.\" At the end of each day we made a draft for yet another track that we were enthusiastic about and so we planned a day ahead until the EP was finished. The collaboration went super organically and easily and we are both very enthusiastic about the result.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e SOFIE WINTERSON: \u003cbr\u003eSofie Winterson creates her own musical world with atmospheric synths, electronic drums, guitars with lots of reverb and her enchanting voice. She has been inspired for her new music by a mix of shoegaze, dream pop and folk acts such as Mazzy Star, Beach House, Alvvays, Big Thief, Whitney and Real Estate. Since her first releases on Magnetron Music, her fan base has been growing steadily. She has played several times at the American showcase festival SXSW and toured extensively along the west coast. Sofie has also spent a large part of her time in Los Angeles since then, where she partly lives, works and has found like-minded people in her music. In 2015, she drew attention to herself with the beautiful video of 'Dreams', a melancholic coming-of-age video that was released via Nowness. The following year, she was part of the Red Bull Music Academy in Montreal and at the end of 2018 a new album entitled Sophia Electric was released via Excelsior Recordings. \u003cbr\u003eNot only was Sofie Winterson's work well received as a solo artist, she also worked with great success on the album Imaginary Lines by Fatima Yamaha, the Close My Eyes EP by Rimer London and the single lift me from the ground by San Holo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sofie Winterson","offers":[{"title":"cassette","offer_id":39514216628419,"sku":"SOFIEWINTERSONCASSETTE","price":10.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1867\/5757\/products\/cassette_sofie.jpeg?v=1570190411"},{"product_id":"clean-pete-gloria","title":"Clean Pete - Gloria","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eClean Pete pulls out all the stops on Dutch-language Indie Christmas album Gloria.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e It is well known that Clean Pete has an endless fascination for Christmas.

In the clubhouse, the preacher asks him if he also believes, which leads to the cheerful, here and there absurdist religious song Credo for an empty head.\u003cbr\u003e An old café friend, Iwan, comes to visit and tells us at length about his adventurous, anarchist life, more than enough for a biting song about freedom and the hunger for life.\u003cbr\u003e Iwan's stories evoke the desire to return to the city to wander through the old neighborhoods one last time.

Not like his project Happy Camper anymore. Without guest singers and a big production. It had to be done alone, on the piano. And in France. The pieces he started writing there were light and sad at the same time. He looked for melodies that stick in your memory, but always with a melancholic undertone.

The Serenes from Joure were founded in 1988 and were known for their guitar sound and melancholy. Inspiration was drawn from the loneliness that the vast Frisian landscape evokes. In 1990 The Serenes attracted attention with this debut with singles Abiding Place and Rebecca (You're Gonna Be Allright). For Barefoot And Pregnant Theo de Jong (vocals\/guitar), Paul Dokter (vocals\/guitar), Ale Bosma (bass) and Joan Hooghiemstra (drums) received great reviews and the album ended high in the OOR Top 10 of 1990. In the OOR Millennium list of best Dutch albums between 1990 and 2000 it ended in eleventh place. In 1991 the band received an Edison for the album in the National Pop category.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Serenes","offers":[{"title":"2lp limited","offer_id":39514214727875,"sku":"ReLP2","price":27.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1867\/5757\/products\/Re002_SERENES_1500X1500-1.jpg?v=1590586163"},{"product_id":"danny-vera-the-new-black-and-white-pt-iv-home-recordings","title":"Danny Vera - The New Black and White Pt.
