Zea & Drumband Hallelujah Makkum – Pine En Tiid II

Zes & Drumband Hallelujah Makkum - In Lichem Fol Beloften

Zea, once a five-piece indie rock band from the Netherlands, buried indie rock years ago and for almost two decades has been the experimental solo project of Arnold de Boer, now also the singer of equally experimental punk band The Ex. On most songs on Zea’s latest album, Arnold is joined by the marching band of his home village, who on this song in particular provide a rhythm-heavy background to Arnold singing some kind of ballad in his native Frisian — a minority language from the north of the country. It works really, really well.

There’s some kind of About page at the bottom of the first post. There is an Instagram account and also a Bluesky account and a playlist on Tidal. I am Martijn and this is my personal-professional website.
