STYLE... Freestyle Hometaping

Zapruder Red's first release is the lo-fi four-track fake electronica known as "Blackburn." Recored in 1997 with borrowed keyboards, the album consists of Sonic Youth-style noise, Miles Davis-influenced grooves, and ambient soundscapes. It also doubles as the soundtrack to the film, "Book of the Dead."

REVIEWS...

"Layers of live instrumental funkiness and freakoutage...'2' adds acoustic piano to the mix and brushes to the drumset. There's a chiming moodiness to this track in particular that gives it a troubled beatnik feel... '6' is slow, feedbacky triphop. And damn fine slow, feedbacky triphop at that! '9' is borderline ambient with just a few sonic blips and blomps skating across the silence. Good shit. Like a jazzier, less death-metal HARLAN." --Ian C Stewart, AUTOreverse
