Add to that a sufficient dose of controlled chaos, apparent on both their records and during their performance. A beautiful mix of magnetising music with Dutch lyrics that have been composed from world literature.

With their newest record 'Hoogriet', the band presents their twelfth album to the world. Releasing a twelfth record being a legendary accomplishment by itself, De Kift is of course averse to the perfection this figure itself stands for: with chopping guitars, blaring brass and rickety toy pianos, De Kift reinvents itself in a magical mix of German Krimi music, electro blues, angular tangos and swaying waltzes for fragile dreams.
