Description
Zookeeper's triumphant return shouldn't be overshadowed by the reunion of ringleader Chris Simpson's legendary project Mineral, a band that played a pivotal role in bringing emo into the mainstream in the nineties. The two are very different animals, and while Mineral may bask in the warm wave of nostalgia, Zookeeper is still Simpson's most evocative and mature vehicle. On their latest effort, PINK CHALK, Simpson's voice guides US through an orchestra of soft landscapes painted by piano, guitar, lap steel, horns, and percussion that will likely garner comparisons to Neutral Milk Hotel, Belle & Sebastian, and Wilco. A can't-miss!
