De Nieuwe Snaar's album La Photographie is a delightful fusion of traditional and contemporary music. The Belgian band's unique blend of folk, rock, and pop influences is on full display on this record, which features a diverse range of instruments, from accordion and mandolin to electric guitar and synthesizer.
The album opens with the upbeat and infectious "La Photographie," a catchy tune that sets the tone for the rest of the record. From there, the band takes listeners on a journey through a variety of musical styles and moods, from the hauntingly beautiful "Le Vent" to the rollicking "La Java Des Bombes Atomiques."
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Les Fous," a haunting ballad that showcases the band's impressive vocal harmonies and evocative lyrics. Another standout is "La Mer," a dreamy and atmospheric instrumental that conjures up images of the sea.
