The Shoes - Emptyness

Review by Jason Ryu

Emptyness, the latest album by Shoes, is a hauntingly beautiful collection of songs that explores the depths of human emotion. The band's signature sound of dreamy, atmospheric rock is present throughout, but with a newfound maturity and depth.

The album opens with the melancholic "Lost in Time," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. The lyrics are introspective and raw, with themes of heartbreak, loneliness, and self-reflection. The instrumentation is minimalistic, with haunting piano melodies and ethereal guitar riffs.

"Silent Words" is another standout track, with its haunting vocals and hauntingly beautiful guitar work. The chorus is particularly memorable, with its soaring harmonies and poignant lyrics. "Fading Away" is another highlight, with its driving drumbeat and hypnotic guitar lines.

About The Shoes

The Shoes were as highly successful freak-beat band from Zoeterwoude (NL) that emerged in the second half of the sixties. Their combination of the soulful vocals of Theo van Es with accessible, yet uncommon songwriting went very well with Dutch audiences. All of their sixties singles entered the top-ten in The Netherlands and they were the first Dutch band ever to make the British charts with ''Farewell in the rain''. When Theo left the band in 1971, the band soldiered on as '''', but left almost no trace in musical history. After Double You Henk en Jan Versteegen started the Stay Brothers and later on TheStaybrothers Band. A short-lived reunion with Theo and the band name resurrected, spawned another hit-single in 1974. Soon afterward the band disbanded, although in 1980 another reunion took place for a Dutch festival. On the 12th and 13th of March 2011 'The Shoes' celebrated their 50th anniversary with a double concert in their hometown Zoeterwoude.
