Queen's Pleasure - Shy Bairns Get Nowt
Shy Bairns Get Nowt – Shy Kids Get Nothing
Frontman Jurre Otto found the sentence ' Shy Bairns Get Nowt ' while wandering through the city, chalked on a wall, in the middle of writing the second album of Queen's Pleasure. It resonated immediately. It also seems to be the case these days: if you don't shout, you won't be heard. In a world where polarization and algorithms determine the order of the day, there is rarely room for nuance. Fortunately, shouting along is no problem, the Amsterdam foursome has plenty to say. The members, now in their twenties, have been playing together since their teenage years. On the second album they passionately play and sing away everything that bothers them. Britrock is increasingly being infused with post-punk. The whole thing is given a punk energy, carried by the bass Jelmer van Os and the drums of Sal Rubinstein.
Recorded in the seclusion of Vlieland in the winter, the band dived into the deserted pop venue De Bolder. Here, under the watchful eye of producer Frans Hagenaar, they worked with undiminished energy on the “difficult second”. But there was no real difficulty in this case: The twelve songs on the album are bursting with ideas, from the creatively found drum and bass rhythms and the cutting riffs of guitarist Teun Putker to the chunks of text that Otto seems to spit bitingly into the microphone. Yet there is no excess to be found, production-wise there is a strong focus on the core, the instrumentation that is all captured on tape in one go. With a minimum of overdubs and embellishments, you always hear a band in their purest possible form here. It is therefore easy to predict what you can expect at a Queen's Pleasure concert: A live show that radiates urgency. and where you could watch each band member individually for an entire show.
