The Grey Pants

The duo Henk Koorn and Elke van Zevenbergen together form The Grey Pants, a receptive, charming project in which both songwriters magnify the apparent trivialities of life into beautiful windowsill songs. The sound palette has been (deliberately) limited: a rhythm box, guitar and two voices. Despite these simple ingredients, each song has a specific character and story.

The duo's first album ( It was from my nephew but now it's mine ) debuted in 2018 under its own management and less than a year later the second album ( We love Ria ) was released on Excelsior Recordings. The Grey Pants makes songs in one of the rare genres that have managed to remain untouched by time. Tweepop as we know it from Stereolab or The Pastels. But then by Henk and Elke.
