Drummer/engineer Collin Dupuis and band mates recorded Taxis Album Review: Taxis Zoos of Berlin album reviews in a make-shift 5,000 sq. foot studio within the Russell Industrial Center. The result is a haunting and natural reverb and tonality that brings to mind David Bowie’s Berlin Trilogy. The texture isn’t the only thing the Zoos have going for them, they have an inherent sense pulling out fresh melodies from complex layered harmony. The vocal work of Trevor Naud and Daniel I. Clark is precise and flexible. Their vocal styling reminds me of the Beta Band, but Zoos have a wider range.

The songs are diverse, yet remain consistent thematically. “Black in the Sun” has a rippling horn punctuating throughout the catchy krautrock. Clocking in at just over two minutes, the cryptic lyrics and baroque keyboards don’t leave anything feeling incomplete. “Juan Matus” has a flavors of Stereolab which escalates into a hazed merry-go-round collapsing onto itself, only to resurface as a lounge-y keyboard solo from Will Yates. Another golden track, “Electrical Way” has a funk reminiscent of Headhunters era Herbie Hancock while maintaining the straightforwardness of The Strokes. As with the other songs on Taxis, “Electrical Way” doesn’t give you the opportunity to get bored, it re-invents itself seamlessly and beautifully. I can’t recommend this album enough.

FEATURED TRACK
“Black In The Sun Room”

** Zoos of Berlin will be playing at the Crofoot in Pontiac on Friday, November 6th along with Black Heart Procession, Thunderbirds Are Now! and Prussia.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, CMJ stands for College Music Journal. It’s manly a chart that collects what all of the college radio stations are playing and gives those same college radio stations guidance on what they should play (because there’s nothing like being unoriginal). Anyway, I’ve been to CMJ before. The marathon is a blast and back in the day when college radio was the king at breaking alt. rock acts, the record labels used to wine and dine all the students running those neat little radio stations. Now with internet, labels don’t have anymore money. Also, college radio is not what it use to be because of iPod and stuff.  Anyway, my point here is there are a few Detroit area bands playing this year including Chris Bathgate, Computer Perfection, Deastro and Lightning Love, so you might want to think about hopping on a plane to JFK this afternoon.

FYI: I’m sure there are more Detroit bands playing but I’m too lazy to check, so here’s the list of everyone who’s playing.
