It's been 7 years since Dutch drummer Peter Lebbink, better known as Maks, released his 3Ft No Diving album. Making music took a back seat to taking care of an intense reconstruction of his new digs in Sweden, but now he returns to his passion: playing all the instruments on a bunch of gnarly rock songs.
Antidote for an Idiot (part 1) is the first half on his new album - part 2 will be available three months from now. Lebbink knows how to create a rock solid yet adventurous back beat, which serves as the foundation for cinematic excursions (Joe Lunchbox, Nevada) as well as progressive rock in-fused pop (Iceberg).
With time on his hands and his recording set-up finished, there is not much holding him back to tinker around and see what sticks, a process that can offer surprises to himself too. Case in point: the short instrumental A Fistful of Fanfare - a pun and tribute rolled into one inspired by Ennio Morricone's soundtrack for A Fistful of Dollars.
Antidote for an Idiot (part 1) is a self-released album. Buy it from his website.
