We continue our "Best of NYC Countdown", covering every day one of the artists that made our Year End Best of NYC list (a chart compiled by a jury comprised of local bloggers, music writers, promoters, record sotre personnel and DJs). Many of the bands in this list will play The Deli’s Best of NYC Fest in Williamsburg in May (6 shows in 3 different venues between the 13 and the 15).
Dreamlike and echoing, Zambri layer an array of effects over airy female vocals performed by front sisters Jessica and Christi Jo. The Brooklyn-based group’s first release, “Bang for Changes EP” explores elements of shoegaze, placing heavy emphasis on synthesizers, reverb, and grungy distortion, and mixes these musical facets with electronic tidbits and dance club undertones. Experimenting with changes in the tempo within songs and following unusual melodic patterns, Zambri fashion a trippy listening experience. -Meijin Bruttomesso
