Idiosyncratic and as cool as a cucumber, Dutch garage rock / nederbeat trio The Kryng expand their oeuvre without paying too much attention to what’s hip and happening. Mark Ten Hoor (guitar, vocals), Peter Kroes (bass, guitar, mellotron, backing vocals) and Arjan Spies (drums, guitar, piano) write original songs rooted in the 60’s, timeless songs that constantly put a smile on your face. Twelve Hymns to Syng Along is their 6th full-length album in as many years, Dave Von Raven guests on 3 tracks. The new LP features – you guessed it – 12 lo-fi tunes that are more pop-oriented than their previous work, but just as catchy and appealing. The Beatlesque stamp suits them well though (the musicians are involved in other projects with wantlist-worthy output, so we already knew what styles and genres they’re up to, but the quality of their productivity never ceases to amaze); regardless of the sound they conjure out of their instruments, everything is always about creating the perfect song, and they’ve done it again here, 12 times.
Twelve Hymns to Syng Along is out now digitally and on vinyl LP through Soundflat Records.
