'Oh, we've been here before,' is the text in the opening track of Krezip's first album in over ten years. Sweet High eventually came as a surprise, although the band from Tilburg released the single Lost Without You earlier in 2019. While (2008) was still full of bouncy rhythms and danceable new wave, this time Krezip mainly works with acoustic guitars and piano, harking back to their early sound.
The sensitive topics about being together (again) both relate to their first hit I Would Stay, but also refer to the period in which the group was not together. The heavier work is mostly left out on this album. It gets a little melodramatic here and there. Sweet? Sure. A highlight? Not quite. (JvQ)more
