Zodiac Youth 18/4/26

“The collaboration between Zodiac Mindwarp and the veteran producer Youth (Martin Glover ofK illing Joke) is a collision of two of the most idiosyncratic minds in British counterculture. Their project,Zodiac Youth, and the album Carnival Of Souls, is a sprawling, psychedelic odyssey that feels less like a traditional studio recording and more like a captured transmission from a distorted parallel dimension. This is a curation of “crazed psych rock” tracks recorded over a 15-year period, finally unearthed and polished. It serves as a sonic bridge between the grease-stained biker rock of Zodiac Mindwarpand the expansive, dub-inflected post-punk production style that has made Youth a titan of the industry. Ultimately, Carnival Of Souls is a testament to the enduring chemistry between two artists who have spent their careers operating on the fringes of the mainstream.”
