An odd care package hit the office earlier this year from Relapse, containing not the expected metalpalooza thrash headliner but instead a clutch of instrumentalists which included Don Caballaro. Unlike the more famous Caballaro, Zombi is more lo-fi and less prog, remindful of Kraftwerk in their prime and fixating on subdural will o’ the wispiness, for example beating the riff to Van Halen’s “Jump” with great tunnel vision until it sort of sags like a resigned mule (”Challenger”).
