Artist Zookeeper's Palace

CD Red Sky Ruminations

Genre: Progressive Rock, Fusion

From Los Angeles comes 6 piece band Zookeeper's Palace who just released their debut CD entitled Red Sky Ruminations in 2012. Melding a unique yet accessible blend of unearthly guitars, polyrhythmic beats, tasty keyboards, groove-ridden bass lines and infectious vocal harmonies, the ZkP sound is a testament to how they insist on shifting the face of rock. Band members include: Matthew Fonda (Vocals, Percussion), Candice Harris (Drums, Percussion), Matthew Luker (Keyboards), Mike Bear (Bass), L. Chalwell (Percussion) and Zack McNair (Guitars). The CD kicks off with “A Red Sky Morning” a methodical psychedelic groove painted against emotionally charged vocals, driving worldly rhythms and dynamic musical flow leading you head first into Track 2 “Grounded by the Air.” THis track is my personal favorite and shifts gears a bit with solid low end intro, alternative rock-fusion feel coupled with passionate vocals from Fonda. Track 3. “Burn Together, Burn Forever” possesses a dynamic intro eventually lending itself into a Progressive Rock crescendo meshed against infectious harmonies and catchy groove that flows and ebbs its way through fruition. The CD makes a solid first impression dishing out 3 impressive pieces in a row. I would classify this music as Progressive Rock, with a worldly fusion aftertaste with musical flavors that is captivating and entertaining. Read Review
