Nits - Wish
Review by Dejan Trajkovic
Wish by Nits is a captivating album that showcases the Dutch band's unique blend of pop, rock, and folk music. The album features 11 tracks that are filled with catchy melodies, intricate instrumentation, and poetic lyrics.
The opening track, "Adieu, Sweet Bahnhof," sets the tone for the album with its upbeat tempo and playful lyrics. The song features a lively accordion and trumpet, which gives it a distinct European feel. The title track, "Wish," is a standout with its haunting melody and introspective lyrics. The band's lead singer, Henk Hofstede, delivers a powerful vocal performance that is both emotive and soulful.
Other notable tracks include "The House," which features a driving rhythm and a catchy chorus, and "The Dream," a dreamy and ethereal ballad that showcases the band's musical prowess. The album closes with "The Infant King," a beautiful and melancholic song that features a stunning vocal performance by Hofstede.
