Zoey Van Goey return with another slab of thoughtful, Yo La Tengo-inspired indie pop with 'Propeller Versus Wings'. Created once again in the sonic laboratories of Chem19 with Paul Savage donning the production lab coat, 'Propellers' is an assured step forward from the breezy pop of 2009's 'The Cage Was Unlocked All Along'.
Inspired by Powell & Pressburger's 'A Matter of Life and Death' and sharing that film's sense of romance and adventure, 'Propeller Versus Wings' finds Zoey Van Goey at their most musically kaleidoscopic. Jazz-inflected torchsongs nestle alongside Urusei Yatsura-esque odes to robotic dinosaurs; the wistful melancholia of The Magnetic Fields and the piano balladry of Regina Spektor are only some of the reference points on an album that's as melodic and winsome as any album we've ever released.
A great addition to the Chemikal canon and a must-buy for those of you who like your pop of the indie variety...
