When approaching ‘Allemaal alleen’, one must be ready to confront the deep lyrical research that went into it. Penned by RHEIN, the track stems from its author’s psychology studies, here infusing the record with the content of his deepest consciousness – anyone can relate? Well, if you speak German you might. But if you are not, you’ll still be fascinated by the track, clearly navigating leftfield and alternative territories, both musically and lyrically.
“Neo-Freudian” quests aside, ‘Allemaal alleen’ is a rather unique record, blending an introspective, quirky introduction – drenched in guitar-powered soundscapes and noisy effects – with more upfront rock matter. The song evolves slowly, always highlighting RHEIN’s evocative vocals, capable of modulating in intensity and poignancy.
Headed by psychologist and songwriter Reinier van den Haak, RHEIN is then completed by fellow musicians Erik Harbers and jazz drummer Ruud Voesten.
