About

Cosmic childishness, neon light. Hott Pink. Rocketing Love from their fully romanced homeworld to distant suns. Freaking out. ZibraZibra shocked the world with the unapologetically original “The End Of the Lion” in 2006, and has radiated bits of data, like a faraway pulsar, ever since. The damn exciting sophomore release “777” released on the numerological orgy of 7/7/07 at Minneapolis' legendary First Avenue mere hours before Prince's final First Ave. appearance that seveny evening, was a humping journey through the hott teenage mind, unleashed from parental supervision, and headed either to doom or permanent stability. Unsupervised shredding and humping. Songs like “Lions on the Astroturf” and the haunting “21st Century” will share this feeling directly with you. After “777” came “Mercury”, a bleak vision constructed in the midst of a dark time. Only Neil Z and Vanilla remained for this album most dark and thick, like a heavy steak meal. This is also what makes it one of the most nutrient dense offerings — pumping out sensational tracks like the chillingly perfect “Marie Antoinette”. Although Atomic Wolf was AWOL for this album, he was recaptured and rehabilitated from his time in the wild, and returned for 2012’s “Mr. Synthetic”. “Mr. Synthetic” leaps into independent consciousness, a robot from the past waking up obsolete in a dystopian present; championing a robotic vision of deprecated digital love routines and skin sheaths. ZibraZibra returns, fully engorged, with tracks like “Crazy” and “Luv Luv Luv” which percolate through a masterpiece of synthetic soul, culminating in the career defining single “Dare 2 B Pretty”. “Freak” is ZibraZibra’s return from digital blackness. Unlocked from a subterranean prison on the planet Zaldos, the Zibroids broke the wild robot steeds of that driftless asteroid, and ponied their way back to Earth, burning hott pink spacedust on a violent re-entry. After cooling down, ZibraZibra began to play what we now know of as “Freak”, showing us a world we may never know through the indigenous melodies of the people living there.
