'Royal Parks' (2012)

Bio
Royal Parks is Diederik Nomden’s solo venture. After having been the keyboard and guitar player for legendary Dutch bands Johan and Daryll-Ann, he decided in the spring of 2010 it was about time to get working on his own material. Actually, it was former Johan band mate Jacob de Greeuw who finally threw him in at the deep end.
Late 2012, Royal Parks released his eponymous debut album. The album was praized by Dutch press for its melodical diversity and harmonic richness. The melancholically waltzing single 'She' got extensive airplay on national radio.
April 2015 will see the release of Royal Parks' second album. On this album, Beatlesque melodies combined with the typical melancholy of mourned seventies-songwriters like Tim Hardin, Nick Drake and Lowell George create an awkward realm of gloomy comfort and luminous distress.
