Album Notes & Community Reviews

Collaborating once again with lyricist Lennaert Nijgh and arranger Bert Paige, the acclaimed Dutch troubadour fully embraced the psychedelic zeitgeist on his third album. Transitioning away from acoustic protest folk, the deeply elaborate arrangements utilize harpsichords, sitars, and sweeping orchestration to frame surreal, fairy-tale narratives.
