The first EP of Zoro Cane as a Band - Walking Nowhere - was independently recorded, produced and published through Munich’s ‘Schaufel und Besen Records’ label.
It showcases the new, different, unique sound and style of the band. The mood of the record dictates an unmistakable attitude with its four songs, each conveying a part of the band’s perspective on the theme surrounding the album – the search. Search for something greater, for answers, one’s place in the world and in life, reliability and the next challenge.
With the title-track ‘Walking Nowhere’, Zoro Cane kicks with its characteristic riff right in the head, and stays there a while. Behind the bright riff painting the song, hides a dark, ominous atmosphere of the verses. Together they make up not only the song, but also portray the sense of the EP itself – the drive to go further, refusing to stay in a place – although always wondering, what if there is no goal in sight?
‘Walking Nowhere’ is playful, packed with emotion, reflectiveness, and one thing altogether – fun!
About
Schaufel & Besen Label
'A band romance that started at a zombie session melts us away. Zoro Cane, originally a singer and songwriter, found two brothers in spirit - the drummer Sebi at a zombie session in 2021 and mobilized his longtime friend Zeka (a luminary on the bass guitar) and has been touring as a rock band ever since. More precisely: as a bitingly sharp power trio. The Zoro Cane name has stuck, as have the fantastic lyrics. The band's motivation is easy to see: the three musicians have fun with what they do and that quickly rubs off on the audience. From now on as part of our label family.
Danceable surf guitar, blues-inspired, psychedelic melodies, to spinning, progressive sound collages and hard punk riffs. Somewhere between garage rock, post-punk and alternative, rounded off by the unique vocals of the singer, guitarist, songwriter and namesake of the band: Zoro Cane.'
Zoro Cane is now part of Munich's Schaufel & Besen Record Label
Coming Home Album Review
Indie Music Album Review
by Divide & Conquer
'Zoro Cane is an indie rock artist working from his bedroom studio in Munich, Germany. The artist took on all responsibilities from writing the songs to mastering them on his four-song EP Coming Home.
The first song is the title track and it begins with what sounds like the instruments revving up. There’s a drum build and everything snaps into place. The song is in 4/4 time, revolves around fuzzy guitar chords, a steady bass and catchy vocal melodies. All things considered it’s a straightforward song with a good amount of forward moving momentum. The accent was heavy to me so personally I struggled making out some of the lyrics.
Next up is “Find Yourself” and it is a bluesy rock song. The vocal melody follows the guitar line here on the verse. There are a number of satisfying transitions and the hook was memorable. I really liked how the song transitioned back into the verse as well. I was getting ’60s and ’70s classic rock vibes as well on this song.
“Kiki Kiki” was a fun song and also the most experimental in the batch of songs. There’s more of a surf rock vibe and the song flirts with unique percussive elements. The timing changes at points and feels seamless. This song doesn't have a hook in the typical sense and focuses on more instrumental aspects.
Last up is “I Don’t Mind” and it is another straightforward song revolving around strummed acoustic guitar chords. It’s a well-delivered vocal performance. The chorus is not only catchy but also contains slightly humorous lyrics which I thought was a good way to end the EP.
As an engineer myself I thought the artist did a good job with the production. The songs are lo-fi and I would have recommended he pass on the songs to a mastering engineer but overall I thought the fidelity was solid for a complete DIY effort.
Each one of the songs had a little different flavor. I can’t say the artist has formed a signature sound but this debut certainly indicates his talent and potential. The songs felt inviting, heartfelt and repeat worthy. Take a listen.'
