| | De Kift CD (2006)
 $13.25 
The ensemble creates an otherworldly aura of appealingly diverse textures, adding up to a kind of theatrical folk music based around works of literature. De Kift, while bizarre at times, doesn't traffic in willful weirdness (in fact, there are many nods to traditional Dutch music), and beneath all of the sometimes jarring elements are appealing tunes with uncanny tinges, whether it's the way the horns in "Muur, Muur" at once echo Spanish music and bleary Teutonic beer hall, or the tragically beautiful, masculine choral tones of "Oe," which lumber along over an ominously pretty guitar figure and cut back against the grain of the urgent spoken word elements. This is perhaps no better expressed than on De Kift, which provides an excellent entry point into the strikingly original and appealing world that this collective has built up around itself. In the Netherlands, De Kift are a legendary group, having emerged on the art/punk tides of the '80s and then evolving into a stirringly original group that combines brass horns, folk music, lyrics adapted from literary works, choral singing, pots and pans, and quite simply a very expansive attitude toward music. (Some of the elder members have been at music for half-a-century.) De Kift may simply be too uncanny for American consumption and hardly digestible beyond the confines of Europe -- we simply have too few reference points to fully embrace or understand this unique group. This is an emotional and rewarding listen from a band that has been making music for nearly two decades.
