Just Zoot Me

Zoot Woman have premiered the first track from forthcoming album, 'Things Are What They Used To Be', and it's considerably brilliant.

Even if you haven't encountered this criminally under-rated band before, I suspect you're probably familiar with the work of band member Stuart Price. Price's production credits include Madonna's 'Confessions on a Dancefloor' and The Killers' 'Day & Age' and more recently Frankmusik's 'Complete Me'. He's also a rather prolific remix artist, operating under various guises, such as Thin White Duke, Les Rythmes Digitales, Paper Faces, Man With Guitar and Jacques Lu Cont.

Zoot Woman's six year hiatus since their eponymous sophomore album has more than likely been a result of Price's other commitments but I, for one, am glad to have them back. In fact, the timing might be right for the band to break through to the mainstream as the campy 80's influenced electropop they've been hawking since debut album 'Living In A Magazine' in 2001 is very much in vogue right now.

The album's out in August but here's a preview of 'Saturation':



If that appeals to your aural tastebuds at all, I'd encourage you to have a rummage through the band's back-catalogue.
