RECOMMENDATION #76 - ZETA ONE

ZETA ONE - DREAMSNAKE II
eiderdown 2015, edition of 100

"her first manifestation of intent: haunted vocals burble thru synth and guitar, chanting ancient incantations from a cosmos yet to be discovered" - EIDERDOWN

ZETA ONE is DAWN AQUARIUS, an early HERBCRAFT acolyte also appearing alongside MATT LAJOIE on PLANETS AROUND THE SUN's COSMIC JOB cassette (another top notch EIDERDOWN tape) - supposedly this is ZETA's debut despite II in the title, which only adds to the abundant weirdness here fittingly and succinctly described as "galactic witchery" expounding into alien acid folk and pan galactic synth punk, FROESEian freak outs, sci fi horror soundtrackery with reverb drenched mantric female vocals - a deeply immersed listening experience along the lines of supreme weirdo reinterpretations of TANGERINE DREAM and NICO improvised by a tripped out GROUPER POCAHAUNTED collaboration
