Zoetrope! https://www.facebook.com/Zoetropeband?fref=ts Review '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. http://www.nemesis.to/zoetrope_clitrocklive.htm
