7.75 out of 10Here's another album I've been blasting between my ears for the past couple of months. This one comes from a new group via New York called Zaza. They've got a few connections in the right places that I'm sure will help this band exceed more than just it's good music will, so expect to hear more and more about them in the future. Zaza blend the atmosphere's of Ride with Cocteau Twins, M83, School Of Seven Bells, and Faunts with dark Indie Pop.
Synthesizers and guitars are the main instruments, calming vocals, live drumming, and enough reverb to keep any Shoegazer's head at a -60 degree angle complete the package quite nicely. Although "Cameo" serves up as nice background music to cuddle up and take a nap to, it also has the ability to keep your toes tapping the whole time. Great atmospheric Indie Rock for the "Nu-Gazer" in all of us.
"Cameo" is a great introduction EP, and if I'm guessing right, these guys will release a full length album in 2010, which will be one of the best albums of that year. Recommended.
