Zun Zun Egui - Bal La Poussiere EP

Single Review by Jamie Scott | 27 Jul 2009
Single title: Bal La Poussiere EP
Artist: Zun Zun Egui
Label: Blank Tapes
Release date: 20 July

Listen very carefully to Zun Zun Egui, for there is much to be absorbed here. Indulge your ears: you will be richly rewarded with a colourful yet ghostly ambience created by delays, echos and fuzz. Casual assumptions point to this Brighton quartet carefully studying the records of Dirty Projectors and Abe Vigoda, but their truly diverse roots and influences (with members from Japan and Mauritius) indicate a longer, dizzier passage of development. Call-and-response vocals that culminate on the frankly ridiculous Brown Mao create a tropical party atmosphere; the mood here is staggeringly happy and intensely creative. One can only wonder what is yet to spring from their traps.
