Zoey Van Goey - The Cage Was Unlocked All Along CD
One of the best live acts we have seen (no, where not just talking about their avalanche records instore) delicate and beautifuly crafted songs from glasgows best kept secret… hopefully not for much longer now they have signed to Chemikal Underground to get their initially self released debut album to the masses.
Another band to watch for great things…
Another album recorded at Chem19 Studios with Paul Savage on production duties, 'The Cage Was Unlocked All Along' finds bandits and buried treasure co-existing with tales of TEFL students teaching in Fukuyama; dark ruminations on the coming apocalypse alongside romantic kidnap ballads; a surreal journey that's as melodically whimsical as it is structurally complex. With the fairytale element heightened further by Peter Diamond's Hergé meets Henry Darger artwork, Zoey Van Goey's debut album becomes a work of charming ambition loaded with full-blooded sing-along choruses, understated keyboards, close harmonies and irresistible melodies - all underpinned by various musical ephemera including vintage Super Mario sound effects.
