Black Pompadour
Thrill Jockey
INDIE
In 2005, THE ZINCS released a second album, ‘Dimmer’, and proceeded to tour the country for the first time. A steady regimen of ten-hour desert drives and poor domestic lager will change a band, and The Zincs found an edge creeping into their music that hadn’t been there before. As the acoustic and spare sound of Dimmer began to evaporate, the electric shine of the group’s dormant influences began to come through, from the Postcard and Rough Trade bands of 1980’s Britain to the minimal, organ-driven drones of 1960’s New York. All of this contributed to the album you see before you, ‘Black Pompadour’.
Recorded and mixed by JOHN MCENTIRE with guest vocals by EDITH FROST, ‘Black Pompadour’ is a mix of veiled self- truths and non-sequiturs.
The Zincs have succeeded in marrying classic song-forms with a brighter electric sound.
