Zebra Hunt - Half Right (MP3)
With their devil make care attitude, Seattle’s own Zebra Hunt have been crafting out the melodic strains of yesteryear since their 2013 debut EP, Beaches. With their brand new release, City Sighs, the trio have enhanced their scrumptious landscapes of sound - track after track of sophisticatedly grungy pop songs that have an enduring, timeless appeal.
"Half Right" is a delicious appetizer for the City Sighs sound. There is a quiet complexity to the track - superb chord progressions, melodic bass and percussion are wrapped up in waves of grandiose garage sound. Catchier than the measles at Disney World - this is an ecstatic dose of instantly approachable melodies and sonics that you need to hear.
Zebra Hunt is playing Highline Bar in Seattle, Washington on Thursday, March 19. Keep up to date with the band on their Facebook and make sure to pick up a copy of City Sighs from their Bandcamp page. Check out their tubular video for their track "Beaches of L.A." below:
