Another entry in our split 7"" series pairs New York prog brutalists Zs and Child Abuse.
Child Abuse features Oran Canfield (Dig That Body Up...It's Alive, Caroliner, Murder Murder) and Luke Calzonetti (Meths, ABK, and Sheath). After a series of drums and keyboard recordings - including the ""Blessed From the Bowels"" track on Zum Audio Vol 3 - they added bassist Tim Dahl and released a full-length on Love Pump Records. This single includes a version of a Dolphy tune ""Hat and Beard"" along with the synth squak of ""Conversations"". Canfield also has a memoir out entitled ""Long Past Stopping.""
Zs have enchanted and confounded many in their decade plus career (documented with output on labels such as Northern Spy, Social Registry, Troubleman Unlimited, and ThreeOneG). ""In My Dream I Shot A Monk"" harkens to the vintage sextet formation that dovetails nicely with their current output, an aggro vocal workout of epic man-angst.
