Kraak & Smaak Plastic People CD - Import

Heineken, Van Gogh, Kraak & Smaak. The three most famous things to come out of Holland. Ever. In that order. Ok so maybe a bit of an exaggeration but the last three years have been an incredible ride for the band considered to be Hollands most credible export and as they gear up for the release of their second album things seem set to get even crazier. After touring the planet in support of their debut album and remixing all their peers and heroes, the time came for the band to start recording their second album. "The goodwill we got from our first album opened some doors for us" says Mark "We wanted to write with the people who are in the band as the core of the album but we also had met some people along the way who had got us excited and it was great that when we contacted them they wanted to work with us. Weve got a killer track with Ben Westbeech on vocals which is lined up as the first proper single from the new album and another that we wrote with Mark Brydon from Moloko as the second. Weve got vocal tracks with Rose and Ro in the bank and a killer track with rapper Dudley Perkins from Stones Throw who weve had respect for for a long time". "The new album is a bit more grown up than the first album" says Wim "Weve worked with some of our heroes and thats had an effect. We still want to write tracks that rock it on a dancefloor but weve also done an incredible cinematic track with Carmel who was a famous jazz singer in the 80s."
