专辑简介

New Cool Collective has been at it for 20 years. Not to let this milestone go unnoticed, the band has just released a brand new album with the appropriate title of Chin Chin. Full of varying influences, the record is a ‘blend’ of crime jazz, burlesque and Ian Siegal’s Swagger. Chin Chin features 21 tracks. The first part is filled with the sort of danceable grooves and intense solos that the collective is already renowned for. The second half has songs that the New Cool Collective recorded as a soundtrack for Ari Deelder’s feature film Toegetakeld door de liefde. The band worked on this special project at the end of 2012 and it inspired the musicians to take new and unexplored avenues. Yes, they still tried to groove as hard as ever, but they were careful to perform in service of the film’s different atmospheres and structures. With Chin Chin, New Cool celebrates their 20th anniversary in spectacular style while still allowing another side to be heard.
