IT DEEL II IS OUT!


July 28! Our IT DEEL II album is out! We recorded IT DEEL II last summer with Streifenjunko-members Espen Reinertsen and Eivind Lønning, in the Thomas Church, Katlijk, where we also recorded the FEAN album and IT DEEL I with Jacaszek. IT DEEL II is an album that is serene, restrained, minimal, sparse, exciting, jazzy at times. Way different than IT DEEL I. It's out on Moving Furniture Records and you can order the lp and/or the digital album on its Bandcamp. There is also the opportunity to order both IT DEEL I and II as a bundle.

PRE ORDER IT DEEL II LP

 
In the summer of 2022 the Kleefstra Bros did an artist-in-residence with Espen Reinertsen and Einvind Lønning (who also collaborate as duo Streifenjunko), as part of the 4-year project IT DEEL. For a few days the four artists improvised and recorded new music in the small Thomas Church in the woods of Oranjewoud, the Netherlands. The sessions ended with a public performance in a packed church. The recordings are about to be published on LP by Moving Furniture Records. The album is now up for pre-order. Check it out. We do love this album, as the sessions were very tense, the recordings were perfectly edited and mixed by Rutger Zuydervelt (who also did the graphic design of the album) and the result is just astonishing. So, rush over to Moving Furniture's Bandcamp!
