We Apologise For Any Inconvenience is available: in Edinburgh:
In Cobourg: Edinburgh, 2009. After a year and half of playing around the UK, Edinburgh’s Zorras are launching their first CD, We Apologise For Any Inconvenience. Poet Sandra Alland and musician Y. Josephine formed Zorras in December 2007, after seeing each other perform at Edinburgh’s Who’s Your Dandy. They quickly became known for their unique bilingual mixture of text, sound poetry, percussion, singing, guitar, megaphones and projected images. Zorras inject passion and humour into both personal experiences and cutting observations of our troubling times. The result is strangely alluring musical stories. We Apologise For Any Inconvenience was recorded in May and June 2009 by Andy Duncan of Leith’s 9TH Duke Studios. It features one Venezuelan folksong and 11 original tracks, ranging from a hilarious radio play about ending up as the Maid of Honour at a stranger’s wedding, to acoustic songs about needing to hypnotise your girlfriend into loving you, to rhythmic poems spoken over a funk-soaked cajón, to pieces where words are stripped of their meaning to become an instrument in their own right. Whatever the style, Zorras always have a way of making you reevaluate the world we live in…or at least what hat you’re wearing. Also included in the CD is an eight-page booklet of lyrics and text, designed by Alland and Josephine. The booklet showcases photos by Alland and Edinburgh artist Evi Tsiligaridou. We Apologise For Any Inconvenience retails for £8.00 ($10), but sells at gigs for only £7. You can also listen on Spotify and Last FM or download tracks at CD Baby |
