2010 release! Like their last album, `Ordinary People` teems with the ZOTS` signature orchestrated chamber pop, jangly rockers, and sinister ballads, boasting the meticulously arranged, melody-rich sound that has enchanted a devoted cabal of followers across the globe and beyond. It is cinematically rendered and relentlessly tuneful onslaught of British Invasion stomp, indie jangle, lush orch pop, and mild psychedelia--songs built to last by nerdily obsessive craftsmen with big record collections. You know: the good stuff. Their name is apt because the clear influences of both The Zombies and Andy Partridge(as in Dukes Of Stratosphere) can be found all over "The Well-Mannered Look". Echoes of The Hollies, Kinks and other circa `68 British pop bands are here, as well. "Another collection of quality tunes suffused with a mid-to-late 60s Britpop sensibility, drawing from The Hollies, The Kinks and yes, The Zombies. "Our Life in Shadow Falls" manages a real XTC synthesis, combining Andy Partridge`s pastoralism with Colin Moulding`s chipper pop, the breezy pop of "Love Song 99" would sound great on an AM radio, and the title track brings a hint of psychedelia to the table. Elsewhere, "Peter Stokes" is the kind of character portrait for which Ray Davies was well-known, and "One Day Older" and "The Other Side of the World" are jaunty retro-pop." - Absolute Power Pop blog. Very Highly Recommended!
