Description
Conversing with Zookeepers is an odd name. Not quite as odd as, say,
Menomena, or the Talking Heads (though heads do often talk), it is
still odd enough to make people ask how in the Lord's name it came to
be.
Many stories have been told, and only one of them is true. I don't really care, though. The story's not that good, so you can make it up for yourself. That's how things have always been, and that's how they'll be now.
The band emerged from swamp muck in Eastern Africa ten-thousand years ago. After creating the foundation of all music worldwide it grew very popular, particularly throughout the fertile crescent. Its fame quickly disintegrated, however, when it knocked over the Tower of Babel with a gigantic wall of sound. Thousands of years later, the band has regrouped and released a CD.
The album itself is pleasantly diverse. You don't have to worry about it being one of those albums where every track sounds the same, because it isn't. The sound ranges from soft and beachy in "Classical," to big ABCD rock in "Trial and Error," to anti-dance in "The Great Lie," to sad choir-punk in "My Ideal Life," to faux post-jazz in "Movie Magic," to relatively normal pop-rock in "The Ugly Polka." The neat thing about "I'm Gonna Eat You" is that there's no clear winner in the category of song quality. They're all pretty damn good. When was the last time a bunch of seventeen and eighteen year olds pulled that off?
There are a couple of obvious stylistic influences, and a score of less obvious ones. The obvious are Radiohead and Muse. The hidden are The Beatles, Cursive, Ben Folds Five, David Bowie, Queen, Nada Surf, Alan Menken, and Beethoven.
Expect exciting new releases soon.
