new release:
VAN COKE KARTEL – WAAKSAAM
EN WAKKER
Van Coke Kartel’s
new album “Waaksaam en Wakker” has just been released. The
new album offers a huge, intensive production with an added progressive
and even “softer” dimension to the straight up in your face raw
sound that initially established Van Coke Kartel as a band.
Van Coke Kartel
spent a lot of time on the road during the writing of “Waaksaam
en Wakker” and their widened scope of observations resulted in
a new, broader Van Coke Kartel sound. The new songs are still
driven and edgy, but this time round Van Coke Kartel have added
a few more melodic songs and even a retrospective ballad “Wat het
van ons geword ?”
Van Coke Kartel
challenged themselves musically on the new album by working with new
instruments and collaborating with artists who added new dimensions
to their distinctive sound. Wynand plays upright acoustic bass on 7
of the 10 tracks. Sir Sergio Zampolli plays accordion on “ Wat het
van ons geword.” Lara Block plays cello on “Wat het van ons geword”
and “Ons moet hardloop” and Dave Sharp can be heard playing his
“John Lord-ish” B3 Hammond Organ on “Raad vanuit twee oorde”
and “Pynstiller.”
Francois van Coke wrote
the lyrics for the album and says that its all about how they are personally
affected by what is happening around them.
- Passief en Paranoďs
“ Daars ‘n byt in die lug wat net soos bloed ruik”
- Raad vanuit twee oorde
“ Staan in jou ry. Om in jou ry te bly, ons soek net die beste vir
jou”
- Ondersteuning Geweier
“ Ek het nog niks geleer nie En ek is dalk die eerste wat sal moet
gaan.”
- Jy weet mos beter.
“Kry jou kake van my enkels af. My foute is gemaak en ek sal nou daaruit
moet leer. Ons almal soek net iets wat mooi is. Iets veilig om langs
in te kruip.”
- Pynstiller.
“ Ek wou eintlik net dinge bymekaar hou.”
- Een Konfrontasie. “
Van lekker lag kom `n massiewe fokop. Skeur jou moue af. Verbeel jouself
jy lewe nog.”
- Ons moet hardloop.
“ Ons moet hardloop. Word wakker en alles is verby. Ons moet hardloop.”
- Soek en vind niks.
“Gee my net `n kans om uit te pass. Dis al wat ek beplan. Ek het die
land deursoek. En ek kan niks van myself hier kry nie.”
- 27 Kluisenaar,
“Gevoel of ek my tong verloor terwyl son oor die plek waarin ons bly
gly.” “Lę jy ook waaksaam en wakker ?”
- Wat het van ons van geword?
“ Daar was ‘n tyd toe musiek nog vir ons heilig was, toe die dwelms
nog besonders was, en toe jou vriende nog verstaanbaar was………”
“Waaksaam en Wakker”
was recorded at Bsharp Studios in Boksburg and was produced by
JP de Stefani and Van Coke Kartel.
Van Coke Kartel
will be touring nationwide in October to introduce “Waaksaam en
Wakker.”
