Zikzak (Todd Stadtman) - See You There

This is a 2000 release from Todd Stadtman, whose "Only I Can Save You" is a release Not Lamers need to check out! This one has its roots, its grounding more in the 80`s realm with the spirits of The Smiths, Prefab Sprout and mid/late 80`s Elvis Costello hanging around each other and it works very well. It`s a style of lush, sophisticated pop that, while dealing with darker themes of love and loss, is also infused with a buoyant sense of humor. Spotlighting Stadtman`s razor sharp songwriting, "See You There" combines Stadtman`s velvet crooning with David Rubinstein`s powerful guitar work and precise, hook-laden arrangements, creating an intelligent and moving collection which deserves many repeated listens.

"Dripping with melodrama and hooks, loud-soft-loud dynamic and smokin` guitar." - Tampa Weekly Planet/Jam. "The cool crooning sounds of Zikzak are on full display on the full-length See You There CD." - Shake It Up
