KRONTJONG DEVILS: Music From the Stars Vol. 2 LP

Description

Since the early nineties, THE KRONTJONG DEVILS (Groningen, Netherlands) have provided the world with their signature ‘Oetsound’ – instrumental surf music with a fine dose of ‘je ne sais quoi’. Their deservedly successful release „Music From The Stars, Volume 1′ sold out instantly, received heavy airplay, and was repressed shortly after. This huge success naturally called for a successor, so here it is: „Music From The Stars, Volume 2′! Once again, the boys broaden their musical horizons by adding stars like BLONDIE, PATRICK HERNANDEZ, MASSIVE ATTACK, and D.A.F. to their repertoire – without departing from their familiar Oetsound. You might ask yourself: ‘Why did The Krontjong Devils record these songs?’ The answer is simple: all these tracks possess beautiful melodies that truly deserve an instrumental guitar treatment. Familiar pop melodies are elevated to a new level, shining in a refreshingly cool light that will capture your soul and leave you addicted. Fun fact: This album features the original Krontjong Devils line-up for the first time since their 1998 ‘On Tour’ album.’
