TRUMANS WATER - O ZETA ZUNIS (LIMITED EDITION LP)

Trumans Water O Zeta Zunis on Limited Edition Vinyl LP

O Zeta Zunis brings Trumans Water back to the United States, certainly in Asthmatic Kitty Records giving them their first stable domestic label home in over a dozen years, arguably longer. That alone should assist in re-introducing them stateside. But Trumans never really left. Too true, the vet American “spazz-rock”/”squiggle-core” quartet has been scarce in their native land in recent years: releases mostly on Euro-labels; touring almost exclusively “overthere.” One co-founding Branstetter brother, singer-guitarist Kevin, even settled down in France; the other, guitarist-vocalist Kirk, remains in Portland,
Oregon, where TW set up in 1995 (formed in San Diego circa 1991).

The 14 tracks of O Zeta Zunis manage one hell of a collective double-feat: sounding like distinct, engaging, chance-taking, raw-boned rock to any given listener, whether they know the band or not, and coming off to longtime fans as strikingly fresh while hearkening back to classic Trumans Water material.
