Zrazy’s first album in ten years sees a return with electrifying diversity

Ireland’s Zrazy blissfully combine silky and searing vocals with a stunning musicality of mature soul, pop, jazz-electronica in their innovative new album, ‘The Art of Happy Accidents’.

 

This unique release is sure to add to their list of accolades which include an array of global awards including the OutMusic USA Award for Best Album with ‘Dream On’ and an Irish Gold disc for No1 smash hit single ‘Ooh aah Paul McGrath’ (Italia ’90).

This Irish Duo have a sophisticated take on the world and call to mind hints of Tracey Thorn, Grace Jones and St.Germain, while retaining a unique Celtic soulfulness.

Set for release Monday 2nd November, Zrazy deliver their long-awaited new album with flawless style and belief. With their unique fusion of soul, funk, jazz and electronica, vocalist Maria Walsh and saxophonist/pianist Carole Nelson unify with captivating invention, thriving stronger than ever since the pair formed in 1992.

 

From their beginnings, Zrazy have tackled social and political issues head-on through their music from feminism to abortion to gay rights, leading to an outright ban on Ireland’s national radio – an issue covered by France’s ARTE TV. Studded with social conscience, ’The Art of Happy Accidents’ sees the two consummate musicians and songwriters at the peak of their powers opening up jazz and soul to refreshing new pop melodies and enlivening deep funky rhythms.

 

The Dublin-based jazz-popsters play a collection of special shows in October & November 2015.
