ZEA - CD CRIMES AGAINST POP

Popis - CRIMES AGAINST POP:
Zea is the alter ego of Arnold de Boer, singer with Dutch experimental group The Ex. Someone described his music once as: "Arnold de Boer deploying guitar and sampler for an almighty bout of crazily high energy songs - urgent lyrics over guitar, roughshod beats and grimy bass lines. Joyfully obstinate, wonderfully bonkers." Breakpop is another term used for the style, and it is a fitting term as Arnold mixes pop tunes with breakbeats and electronics to create a totally unique hybrid of experimental pop music. The project started in 2000 and has released 6 albums up to date. 'Crimes Against Pop' gives a perfect overview over this music. For Klanggalerie the idea to work together came up when they (as big fans of The Ex) went to see Zea perform a solo show in Austria. They were blown away by the strength in the simplicity and asked Arnold immediately if he wanted to work with them. Luckily he agreed, and here is 'Crimes Against Pop'.
