The #zot2016 review returns, now approaching its end (scheduled for 31/12/2016), with an absolutely experimental proposal that, while probably 'daunting', is certainly very interesting.

Zofff - Kozfest MMXVI (2016)

Zofff (Chris Anderson, Bic Hayes, Al Strachan, Damo Waters, Richard Gorbutt) is a psychedelic music group from the south of England, self-defined as a temporal experiment occurring in the present but whose seeds have been sown in the future. Despite appearances, there is no reference to what has been the ultimate goalkeeper in the history of football. Through space-time, they present this publication (absolutely experimental) released on this very interesting brand new label from Brighton, UK, called Drone Rock Records (the same one for which the Stupid Cosmonauts have published, just to give context). The album, released in December 2016, is practically a live recording of an improvised session during Kozfest on July 29, 2016, recorded with the collaboration of Dave Lowe and Pete Wibrew. It is certainly not an 'easy' release, not so much for the sounds, but because it is essentially one long session lasting about 45 minutes. However, the sounds are very interesting. Clearly psychedelic in inspiration and based on the typical kraut-rock motorik 4/4, various moments of greater intensity emerge within the 45 minutes, leading to an experimentalism that incorporates post-punk experiments mixed with no-wave abstraction and moments reminiscent of the usual Tangerine Dream for both the space-dimensional approach and the use of synths and guitars. It’s very intriguing, but to truly define the depth of this group, it is indeed necessary to refer them to a studio album.
