Sleepy Zuhoski
Better Haze
Palo Santo, 2018
7/10
Though Zuhoski's first album starts off with fairly expected singer songwriter indie-folk, it doesn't take long before he explores many variations of rock. While some tunes will want to get you headed straight to the dance floor, others point you in the direction of a campfire, all with a playful, dreamy and extremely sophisticated angle that pays close attention to melody and rhythm. The album highlights include Zuhoski's shift towards Radiohead like atmospheres with creative synth and otherworldly qualities, and some timeless, breezy '60s rock feelings that your parents would even appreciate. Ultimately, there's something for everyone here, and it's all executed extremely well.
Travels well with: Doug Martsch- Now You Know; Tom Freund- The Edge of Venice
