Zombie Zombie
is a crazy science and music project based in the city of Paris, France and lead
by professor Etienne Jaumet and Cosmic Neman (who is also the drummer of Herman
Dune, since 2006). They use sound and rhythm to explore the feeling of fear growing
deep inside of everyone. Listening to their music is like passing different emotional
stages of fear, anger and desperateness. The usage and play with analog effects,
which includes an extraordinary variety of instruments like theremins, keyboards
or space echo tape delay pedals, meets with provocative drum-parts and screaming
voices, which seem to have been taken directly out of your worst nightmare. Pictures
of wild chases and haunted houses equally spring to mind, when Zombie Zombie bring
their ecstatic performance to the stage. It is pretty obvious that they are inspired
by horror movie soundtracks from the likes of George Romero, John Carpenter and
Dario Argento, as well as the music of bands like Goblin, Suicide, Raymond Scott,
Silver Apples or the Krautrock legends of Can. After their first release on the
Parisian record label "Boombomtchak Records only vinyl", their longplaying debut
was published on the French electronic music label Versatile, in 2008. Recorded
and mixed in their research lab in Paris, producer Antoine Gaillet, who already
worked for well-known acts like M83 and Placebo, as well as other French musicians
of bands like "Turzi", "Herman Dune" and "Friction" we're involved in creating
the frightening piece of art. Since then, they've been blowing up across the UK
and Europe, being invited to music festivals and big club shows all over the world.
The NME even asked itself, whether they could be the new Jusice! However, after
years of touring, for example as support act for the European tour of MGMT, it
was time for an inevitable release. "Playing John Carpenter" is the ultimate tribute
to the work of a director, whose works both of them admire. The re-interpretations
can and should be enjoyed on the record itself, but they are already well-known
for an incredible performance on stage, as well.
