Joe Ziffer Shares Night Falls Fast

Leave a comment

I’m really intrigued by what Joe Ziffer is doing on his debut LP; I loved the first single, but was left a bit gobsmacked by this new one. The solemnity of Joe’s voice here is almost as haunting as it is lonesome. It works over this very light strum, with another textural layer placed atop so that you can feel the forlorn nature at play. There are moments when you’ll find yourself drifting, lost entirely within the confines of the little nuanced moments, such as the cleve bit of play just after the 2:30 mark. Long Shadows is shaping up to be a brilliant listen; it’s going to be available via Tenth Court on November 24th.

Joe Ziffer Announces Debut, Shares Ouroboros

I tried to dive into some Joe Ziffer background, but there wasn’t a lot out there; I can vouch for his new label, Tenth Court, as they’ve been a reliable spot for great Australian pop songs over the years. Joe’s sound is perhaps difficult to pigeonhole (thankfully) as it seems like its made of two minds. On one hand, there’s this natural guitar energy that courses through the song, providing almost a textural backdrop that allows the track to ride in the rock n’ roll sidecar. But, at the core, there’s this home-recording feel, like a guitar magician just noodling about with a melody in mind, strumming and filling the track with just a teaspoon of traditional pop mentality. Another exciting release coming from the label; Long Shadows hits on November 24th.
