JoosTVD may also be known as “Joost The Disappeared Dutchman” and is actually called Joost van Dinther. He has promised himself to release an album every year with his “slaps(t)ick humor” and a mixture of pop, jazz, funk. Latin and rhythm & blues.

His new musical adventure was recorded in his small Kitchensink Studio in Utrecht. Joos once again manages to make you listen breathlessly from the beginning to the end of the album.

The album opens with the “crooked” Latin of Know No Better Way in which warm samba sounds go hand in hand with idiosyncratic sounds reminiscent of Yello and the Yellow Magic Orchestra.

Joos then switches to the languidly swaying electro funk in Meet In The Middle. A song with the warm crooning vocals of Joos and of course the necessary idiosyncrasy, this time laced with Todd Rundgren influences.

The Buzz is a light, swinging song that is reminiscent of the Gruppo Sportivo offshoot the Buddy Odor Stop, but just as easily also of the jazzy sounds of Ben Sidran or Mose Allison. And Joos rips through it with a searing electric guitar solo. The Cat Gang continues to sway sultry with “crooked” samba sounds, in which Steely Dan is present this time.

Tapdancing Liar is a kind of “triple-jump funk”, which sounds like Ben Sidran has the funky hiccups. Just look at this and tap dance!

The blues appears in World Of Make Believe, which sounds bluesy like G. Love, but with the JoosTVD idiosyncrasy, which means that Joos again sprinkles jazzy and samba sounds.

The airy, swinging Suit Yourself automatically makes you happy. If only because of that Herb Alpert tijuana trumpet! Suit Myself is very funky, angularly grooving and with a languid samba feel.

King Without Token tingles, is funky, and mixes Steely Dan, Beck and lo-fi. What do you get when you mix Van Dyke Parks, Todd Rundgren and Steely Dan? The treacherously languid deiner World Of Disbelieve.

The intimately swaying Wise Men is then reminiscent of Fay Lovsky and Joos ends the adventure with the funky fusion of Danser Ou Changez.
