“Slaves to consumerism, the world’s population exists in
a zombie-like state of constant connectivity, their only music corporate
sponsored pop pap.”
But fear not dear earthlings, from a galaxy far far away,
come The Z to lead us by the hand to a place free from the shackles of the modern world. For the Z are People of the
Mirror World, a reflection of music not as the soundtrack to supermarket
shopping but as a lifeforce, powered up to the mains, pumping energy back into weary
hearts and sapping souls.
It’s pop music Captain, but not as we know it, at least not
these days. The Z go back to the future, plug in to their analogue docking
station, and slip ten capsules of intergalactic new age boogie dreams straight under
our collective tongue. It’s a trip, higher than the sun, where space is the place.
Personnel details and background information is scant and
with the most unsearchable name on the internet deliberately so. No one ever
said it was gonna be easy. The crew are fronted by Zoot, an Italian practicing
high priestess, who channels elements of Grace Slick, Julie Driscoll and even Siouxsie
Sioux; Gabrielle Drake in a purple wig in UFO. With Zoot’s co-pilots,
The Z travel the spaceways, navigate magical swirling seas, shower excess glitter
on glam stomps, cast spells with black magic queens and ask to be saved, all in
little more than half an hour and with a spring in their step and twinkle in their eye. It’s music for
the mind and body, free your mind and your ass will follow.
People of The Mirror World by The Z is due to land on earth, 1
November 2017, via Detour Records.
