Rediscover your attention span
Immen – the stage name of “Frisian om utens” Clasine Haringsma – makes warm, introspective music about life-until-now. That life began in the Frisian countryside, daydreaming in the grass, in the company of the animals in the yard. Those memories play an important role on her debut album Nimmen, on which she creates a beautiful soundscape in Frisian and English. One of those records where time was taken – made “with life” – and which is best listened to as a whole. Come back to that.
Even live, Immen proves that it pays to let art simmer slowly, without fuss and as real as possible. A relief in a time bursting at the seams with reels, fast scoring, hit-after-hit productions and one-liners. Listen to Immen’s disarming vocals against the backdrop of old downtown Leeuwarden and rediscover your attention span. You need it more than you think.
