CD Reviews

Coming to America
Babs Johnson | 11/10/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Hope this is not hype, but Zoot Womans most recent album will finally be released domestically. Neither the U.K. or America have been able to really enjoy this bands great sounds. Each album seems to grow and mature without becoming predictable. Grey Day, the lead song on the domestic release, will surely become a College favorite. Probably the best alt-rock band out of France in recent memory."
ZOOT WOMAN aka JACQUES LU CONT aka LRD aka PAPER FACES!!!

"First things first: STUART PRICE aka ZOOT WOMAN aka LES RHYTHMES DIGITALES aka PAPER FACES is a GENIUS! Second: WHY OH WOW isn't this CD (as well as their last one LIVING IN A MAGAZINE) released in America?? Zoot Woman's leader was the musical director of Madonna's last tour, why couldn't she have the vision to release it domestic on Maverick/WB? For sheet quality in both production and songwriting craft, this could be the best "dance" album of the last few years...or rock...or pop...or, you get the idea. It's a real shame that more people in the U.S. don't know about ZOOT WOMAN - at least for now it can be our little secret!! :)"

"I heard 'Grey Day' for the first time on an online radio and was immediately hooked. Having bought this album I was not disappointed. I am not usually a fan of eighties synth style music, but the combination of upbeat tracks and some more soulful tunes reminded me of French albums like Phoenix's 'United', and Etienne de Crecy's 'Tempovision', both of which I would strongly advise if you haven't already checked them out. If you are interested in the Wall of Sound label then have a look at Roykspopp and Black Twang.Some of the tracks on this are weaker than others, and the first four or five on the album are the strongest (hence four rather than 5 stars), but it does work well overall. If you like it, then have a look at their first album, 'Living in a Magazine' particularly the title track and the first one, both of which have very cool videos (check out french tv) and really define this band for me. It's not always good to compare albums, and the differences between the styles of music may reflect maturity. I think the tracks on this album do have a more distinct and strong style than its predecessor. Nevertheless I prefer that album, hence the comparsion! "I've got a feeling, it's automatic!""
