NNENN: Snapshots of Eternity

photo: Menno van der Meulen

Dutch duo NNENN released the memorable EP All Right earlier this year, a business card for their mix of melodic pop and dance, wrapped in triphop. Singer-songwriter Johanneke ter Stege and producer/sound designer Tonny Nobel turn it up a notch on their first full-length Snapshots of Eternity, an album that celebrates their (musical) relation.

The songs are so intimate that a listener might feel like a voyeur. Ter Steege's impressive range is a match for the meandering music - the flow is interrupted with plenty of well placed rapids and an occasional undertow. NNENN have gone in at the deep end and found the inspiration for a wealth of poetic lyrics. They transformed it into soft-spoken, dreamlike songs. Fingers crossed that the audiences at their live shows will have the decency to shut up. The delicate fabric of their compositions deserves undivided attention.
