The Door, the debut album by Puin + Hoop on Narrominded is getting some great reviews. Festivalinfo gave the album 3 out of 5 stars (‘an exceptional record’). Moors Magazine strongly recommends the album ( ‘subtle and refined’). Vital Weekly says Door is ‘a major step forward for Puin + Hoop’. Subjectivisten – Het Shaduwkabinet calls the album ‘abstract, but human and sensitive at the same time’. The online radio show Beautiful Extremes played the track Bomendocumentaire twice, once on November 16 and once on November 23.
The latest effort by Gone Bald, Waiting It Out, got a raving review by File Under: ‘What a band. What a record.’ MusicFromNL compares Gone Bald to dEUS and Dark Entries says ‘Gone Bald does nothing new, but what they do, they do with great craftmanship’.
Incendiary Magazine saw Boutros Bubba (‘pretty darned good’) and Gone Bald (‘shit hot’) live at the SUB071 in Leiden. Read the whole review here.

In their review of Retro Retry 2: Another Another Green World the music zine Kindamuzik says the album sounds balanced. ‘Catchy rhythms alternate with modest pieces and repetitive sounds.’ According to them The Big Ship by Coen Oscar Polack is the highlight of the album. ’A moody recreation of Eno’s dramatic composition.’ MusicFrom.NL also reviewed the album. ‘An enjoyable record that sounds as whole, despite the diverse perspectives.’ They also think Spoelstra‘s track sounds like your uncle Arie who bought an €80 keyboard and loaded some MIDI files in it. Spoelstra responds: ‘I’m considering demanding a rectification. My keyboard cost me €200.’ Retro Retry 2 was presented in Het Patronaat in Haarlem last weekend. Click here to check out some pics.

The Dutch website MusicFrom.NL reviewed Quel Gargantua! by Katadreuffe. They call it ‘an outburst of different music styles, like noiserock, bursts of punk, hardcore and some pop, that create a pefect fit.’ Read the whole review here.
