Taking laptop folk first into the realms of Kraftwerk and Devo first, then into the arms of Television, and finally into the middle of the pit alongside Iggy. The more you play it the more you’ll annoy the neighbours; think The Parkinsons armed with samplers and Apple Macs and turn it up LOUD.
Dutch duo Zea (Arnold de Boer: guitar/vocals, Remko Muermans: keyboards, sampler and vocals) make a charmingly schizophrenic sort of fractured punkadelic artpop, and they are good at it! Compressed trajectories recall The Notwist, but amplified into some Buzzcocks adrenalin rushes, alternating with neon ricochet math rock pencils standing on their hard sharpened points, with shimmering synth tickles from heaven.
