Cocoon Crash, the third album from Antwerp's K's Choice, came out on Sony in April 1998 and reached American shops that June. It's built around the brothers Sam Bettens, singing lead and playing guitar, and Gert Bettens on guitar and backing vocals, with Jan Van Sichem also on guitar, and Gil Norton, the producer behind records by Pixies, Counting Crows and Feeder, gives it a big, clean alternative rock sheen.
It picks up where Paradise in Me left off, but the mood is lighter and so are the subjects, with Sam's husky voice doing the heavy lifting. The singles were "Believe", "Everything for Free" and "If You're Not Scared", and the album has sold over 1,000,000 copies, going platinum in Belgium and the Netherlands. Almost Happy followed. Loudwire, looking back in 2025, counted them among the '90s post-grunge bands that deserved to be bigger.
