Off-World Recording Company Presents:
Zero Brothers Digital-only release 09/18/2020 UPC 195543-333200
<Key Tracks: You’ve Turned (to Gold); Summer; Your Bad Dreams (Duet)>
The Zero Brothers are a new collaboration from the original musical visionary of Alternative Rock band Remy Zero, Shelby Ray Tate, and original Remy Zero primary singer and younger brother August Cinjun Tate.
Shelby was the primary composer of Remy Zero, eventually along with Cinjun Tate, and the other musicians in the band, and he was also the occasional lead singer. Here, both brothers compose about half each on this natural maturation from that band’s sound and style, at once more comfortable, colorful and confident, all while spanning compositions covering the entirety of their career.
The songs range from the guitar-pop glory of You’ve Turned (to Gold) to the cinematic and hypnotic brothers duet Your Bad Dreams, tender and thoughtful Summer, the Glam-Rock thrill of Elixir, emotionally vulnerable Kry – War Out There, incendiary bomb burst What I Have Become, metallic Sci-Fi Hollow Head, Cinjun’s beautiful balm, Now/Here, Shelby’s Hollywood party uplift Lamplighter’s Parade, and the elegant, classic-feeling Watchtower. The album, with basic tracks recorded live to 16-Track analog tape, and digital vocals and overdubs, opens with a cover of ‘60s-‘70s Cambodian pop icon Sinn Sisamouth, conceived and produced by Shelby while exiled in Cambodia, with an English-language re-interpretation given the name Flowers, (originally Nowte Brathnea / Still Wishing), and closes with a spirited cover of T-Rex’s Spaceball Ricochet, a lesser known song from their stone cold classic “The Slider.”
