Released by Paprika Records in mid-2018, puur natuur by the Sound Express assembles fourteen tracks rooted in indorock with a distinctly Dutch inflection. The band draws from a palette that touches on blues, hard rock, and psychedelic strains, evident in pieces like "met gesloten ogen" and their take on the Trini Lopez Medley. The record’s grooves unfold with a looseness that recalls vintage progressive rock without forsaking the immediacy of danceable rhythms.Though the Sound Express remains underdocumented in broader circles—evidenced by scarce Last.fm activity—the album’s blend of styles commands attention for those interested in the intersections of rock subgenres and regional sound. Paprika Records’ commitment to this material situates puur natuur as a modest yet intriguing artifact within the ongoing lineage of European rock, one that rewards the listener inclined to sift through its layered textures and shifting moods.
