RELEASE:
12” album “more LOVE SONGS” (2006-2024) by Menko Konings
After S.M. Nurse, Plastic Cocon, No Honey From These, and EM, Menko Konings quit all his musical activities around 1990. From then on, he didn't play a single note for over 15 years.
After that period, he resumed his solo DIY hometape activities and recorded e.g. four CDs. Eight love songs from the various tracks he created between 2006 and 2024 have been selected for this album. The 12" forms a duology with the previously released record “LOVE SONGS”.
