Description

When Dutch new wavers the Nits released their self-titled debut album in 1978 on an independent label, no one would have predicted that they would become one of the most exciting bands in modern music. Signing to CBS and releasing their second album Tent in 1979, the band took a huge step forward in dynamics, arrangement, imagination, and songwriting. Vocalist/keyboardist Henk Hofstede, and guitarist/vocalist Michiel Peters are distinctive talents, both working on different tangents, yet finding common musical ground. Imagine XTC with a pinch of the Residents, a slice of Devo and two cups of Beatles‘ chord changes, and then cook it in the inventiveness of early 10cc.
The song Tutti Ragazzi became a small Dutch chart success as a single. This re-issue contains three bonus tracks: Umbrella, Some Other Night and Harrow Accident.
