Some of the most renowned clubs in Bogotá's electronic music scene are fueled by local talent, projects that, Without straying from the conventional, they produce interesting music with a pleasant sound and impeccable craftsmanship.. These are groups whose primary goal is to break into the international circuit rather than gain popularity in their own country. Their songs conform to the prevailing styles of the industrialized world's metropolises and follow patterns used by their North American and European counterparts, maintaining a high standard of quality but offering little surprise. This is also the case with... Purple Zippers.
This trio has just released their new album, Over, A 4-song EP, with lyrics entirely in English, ready to be heard by any talent scout in the genre located in Chicago, Zurich, or Tokyo. This potential producer will find in this recording an interesting elaboration of textures molded to the funk and house trends of the moment., where what might most catch your attention are certain moments of disobedience in the guitar playing, which, perhaps, is the band's distinguishing feature.
What Purple Zippers did in Over We like it, we're not going to deny it. These are 4 songs that are pleasing to the ear, which can liven up any gathering. Perhaps, from there, we can ask them to step a little further out of the conventional mold, take more risks in their approach, and forge a more unique path. What they've done here is well-conceived, but it doesn't break the mold. This trio has all the elements in their favor to do so, and they can already capture the attention of curious listeners looking to expand their collections. What we suggest now is simply to go a little further, without fear or regret in the task.
