The Windowsill (Blue/Green Marble) [Vinyl]

"After leaving Dutch pop punk powerhouse The Apers in the late 2000’s, Marien Nicotine returned to the scene gloriously with the killer debut album of (his then new outfit) The Windowsill in 2011. The album caught people somewhat by surprise. Even if the songwriting didn’t stray too far from the kind of songs Marien became known for as “the McCartney to The Apers’ Lennon” (him and Kevin Aper being the main songwriters of his previous outfit) – straight forward pop punk songs inspired by the Ramones and more contempary bands like Screeching Weasel and Weston – the album clearly showed growth and, dare I say it about a punk rock record, maturity. It was obvious Marien wasn’t the teenager
anymore he once was, and in recent years probably had been listening to Tom Petty more than to The Queers.
In the years that followed Marien steadily continued to build his catalog with several more albums by The Windowsill as well as albums by other loved projects like Giant Eagles and The Shivvies, earning him a cult status as one of the most highly regarded pop punk songsmiths in the world. For many years the album that turned out to be the gateway to his second coming has been out of print though. Until now! Remastered by Perry Leenhouts (Travoltas) and available on blue/green marbled vinyl, Stardumb is proud to bring one of the label’s classics back in print."
