NEW ALBUM, LIVITY (Versatile Records). Art by Philippe Druillet
—————————————————————————–
Zombie Zombie, the French trio, featuring Etienne Jaumet on analog synths, Cosmic Neman (from Herman Dune) and Doc Schonberg, both on drums and percussion, is back with an exciting new album.
The band goes back to 2007 and their first album “A Land for Renegades”. In 2010 their album “Zombie Zombie plays John Carpenter”, which saw them solely tackle the works of film score composer John Carpenter in new and different, ways was a big succes.
Since then they released “Rituels d’un Nouveau Monde”, made a cover of Sun Ra’s ‘Rocket #9‘ (that was strangely sampled by Lady Gaga (!), wrote several film soundtracks, collaborated with a circus company (“Slow Future“) and recently performed for a whole week at the Venise Biennale in Xavier Veilhan’s installation.
Recorded at Studio RBMA Paris in 2016, ZOMBIE ZOMBIE new album, LIVITY, is out on Versatile Records in October 2017. It was mixed by French producer I:Cube.
