Boom Bip
Zig Zaj
LA producer Boom Bip's third album on Lex.
LA producer Boom Bip's third album on Lex.
Continuing themes from his Mercury Music Prize nominated Neon Neon project with Gruff Rhys, this album also features vocal tracks. However this is still very much a Boom Bip solo record; maintaining the lush and powerful instrumental melodic elements of his previous work.
Zig Zaj includes contributions from Luke Steele, Alex Kapranos, Cate Le Bon, Money Mark, Josh Klinghoffer (Atoms For Peace), as well as members of Warpaint and Bon Iver.
The CD version features magic puzzles on the inside, the LP version is de-bossed and matt black.

With this 6 track EP, Boom Bip develops some of the harder, faster electro themes that have appeared throughout his previous albums and into his next as Neon Neon.
Punchy beats and lush melodies that are trademarks of Bip's sound remain steadfast, however the influences of Moroder and perhaps even 80s Italo prog-soundtrackers such as Goblin creep into the up-tempo synth lines and there's more than a hint of grimey percussive bass line to guarantee dancefloor action. These are 5 tracks of the highest calibre.
