"We're in the power trio zone again with Zoëtrøpe. Well, maybe it would be more appropriate to say 'breakneck headlong crash-bash noisenik pile-up zone', for Zoëtrøpe are not so much a band as a three-piece cacophony-generation unit. But, again, let's not run away with the idea that the band just hash out mere noise. In amongst Zoëtrøpe's gleeful lo-fi pandemonium lurk some well engineered post-punky songs, all angularity and intellect.

'Demons' is a slow-burn and rev-up see-saw of a song, like a tribalist Kleenex; 'Swimming' is a drone-and-stomp workout with an effectively minimalist guitar solo. Zoëtrøpe are brilliant at setting up an exhilarating, physical racket, and then throwing unexpected ideas into the din.

It's the minor epic 'Plague' that gives us Zoëtrøpe in a nutshell. A lilting tune conceals an apocalyptic lyric - the song seems to be about the spread of plague around the world. I'm not sure if the band mean it as a metaphor for the current state of things, or if it's simply a historical treatise. Whatever the intent, the mood of wistful regret is well and truly broken as the song breaks down into a percussive commotion, the drummer flailing and yelling until the whole thing deconstructs itself in a ferment of beat-disintegration.
It's this song that hints that there's more to Zoëtrøpe than just heady noise-bursts, although it must be said they do the heady noise-bursts impressively well. But there's a fierce creativity here that could push the band in any direction. I'm going to enjoy watching which way Zoëtrøpe's art takes them."
