Quite Simple - Unknown Stranger


There’s always something extremely satisfying when you download music from a band that you had never heard of before, only to be pleasantly surprised at the noise that emits from your PC’s speakers. This is one of those very same satisfying downloads. Hailing from the misty flatlands of Holland (the Netherlands) Quite Simple (Riny Van Wijnen: Vocals / Kees Vos: Guitars, Vocals / Jan Spuybroek: Drums, Percussion / Willy Eveleens: Bass, Keyboards, Vocals) were a Post-punk / Goth band who managed to translate the sound that fans of hook-driven Leeds bands such as March Violets and T’ Lorries should love. The album Unknown Stranger was released in 1989, while the 7” Victims was released in 1987. Straight down the middle male/female vocal dynamics and big, shameless production. For a self-financed private pressing, the production on the album is especially impressive and sometimes it sounds like, if things had worked out differently, that it is only a major label signing away from being Floodland II. Is that enough to sway you to click?
