The 'brig' is a new instrument, built by the band members of the Kift from scrap metal waste. The brig is a shiny monster that looms dangerously during the concerts. The album also starts immediately with a pounding party on the brig, it is most reminiscent of a barrel organ.

… beautiful dramatic effect to De Kift's angular music. Also new are the Frisian lyrics in three songs, the result of the performances at Oerol, the festival of which De Kift is almost the house band. The cryptic lyrics of frontman Ferry Heijne sometimes seem apocalyptic, but the group refuses to huddle like scared rabbits for the impending doom. No, the lyrical members of De Kift celebrate life with every pore and dance, turning the brig, rather on the volcano. (PdK)more
