Close

11th digital album of Dutch songwriter JoosTVD (The Vanished Dutchman).

The Vanished Dutchman comes back with lightning! On these 18 e©lect(r)ic songs (including 3 bonus tracks, pictures, promo video) he expresses his love for songwriting, arranging and recording. Obsessed to find the balance between twisting melodies and energetic grooves. The results are sometimes relaxed or funny, then melancholic or intense. Pop'n Roll from the Lowlands!
JoosTVD: Songwriting, lyrics, recording, mixing, arranging Playing (guitars, bass, vocals, percussion, various keyboards)
All done in the Kitchensinkstudio with the help from Pro Tools.

Review in Wasser-Prawda:

Manche Musiker sind einfach zu clever und gleichzeitig zu humorvoll, um in dieser ach so ernsten - und so erfolgsgierigen Welt - erfolgreich zu sein. Bin ich froh, dass jemand wie JoosTVD davon nicht entmutigen lässt und in jedem Jahr dennoch ein Album voller musikalisch großartiger Lieder zu veröffentlichen.

Es geht um Verschwörungen im Whirlpool, Paranoiker mit Knarren, den Narzissmus der Mediengesellschaft oder arme Schuhputzerjungen. Dabei trifft Rock auf Funk, Jazz, Latin und schamlos poppige Melodien. Und zuweilen holt Joost van Dinter sogar einen Slide heraus, um seine Gitarren zu spielen.

Klar gibt es in den Songs jede Menge Humor – wer aber JoosTVD wie ich über Jahre hinweg mit seiner Musik verfolgt, der lernt ihn darüber hinaus lieben als einen unwahrscheinlich reflektierten und feinfühligen Musiker, der einfach lieber drauflos lacht, als über all das Elend zu heulen.

DIY, one-man's band, he composed about 1000 songs so far..and counting. Joost The Vanished Dutchman is, as you might have guessed, from The Netherlands. You cannot pronounce his name easily: Juiced? Well it's an anti- artist name lads and gents! He's a musician first. Used to play and record everything on his own, but with modern technology that all changed and now he uses real organic loops manipulate them and combine that with jazzy playing, a touch of improvisation and bluesy raspy cockerish blue-eyed soul singing. Inspired by many great ARTISTS who are mostly eclectic in styles, like Frank zappa, the Tubes, Gino Vannelli, Todd Rundgren, Miles Davis, Boz Scaggs, John Martyn, Sting & Terry Callier. Mostly influenced by the 1960-70's, but he keeps a sharp eye on today's fashions. At first he started out as a drummer and played with a lot of bands in Holland. He found out that he could write songs too and ended up as a singer and did a lot of crazy stuff on stage to wake up the crowd. Now he records and writes a lot and sometimes misses playing these songs with a grooving band, but on the other hand feels very comfortable doing it all by himself.
