De Toegift

De Toegift releases new single and video 'liefde is lang' and announces album and club tour Shortly after releasing Odysseus, De Toegift now releases the second single liefde is lang from their upcoming album kleine auto, grote hot wheel (release date February 7, 2025).

LIEFDE IS LANG Upbeat drums and guitars cheerfully march through a landscape of dreamy strings and a fleeting flute. Liefde is lang is the colorful and exuberant new single from De Toegift, which stands in stark contrast to its sober predecessor, Odysseus. Frontman Maxim Ventulé compassionately takes the listener's hand in liefde is lang, and with his band, poetically sings about the search for what love can be when fully surrendered to it. The cover art is a work born from a collaboration between visual artist Marijn van Kreij and Maxim Ventulé. Together, they created a series of collages and drawings that, in their own way, try to capture the renewed sound world of De Toegift.The music video is an ode to love in the broadest sense of the emotion. Art, kitsch, the 90s, everyday objects, color, dogs, oil pastels, and sex all flash by in a whirlwind. Visual artist Minne Ponsen and Maxim Ventulé find common ground in their shared love for drawing and explore their common visual language with a playful explosion of color and joy.
