Dystopia’s probably the track that’ll best define their universe, with its menacing beat-heavy thick horror soundtrack crumbling around high pitched synth lines, and random alien-like hyper-distorted vocals cutting in. Spitefully charging through crunchy cold-blooded jams, the three ZZZ’s ladies re-appropriate dark dissonant no-wavey/industrial atmospheres to twist them into their own, using just about every trick in the book to avoid falling into routine. Originally from Japan, they formed the band in NYC in March 2012, playing some 50-odd gigs around the US, and more recently, a couple of shows during this CMJ; and seeing as, according to their Twitter, they’re leaving the city at the end of December -not sure how long for- we’re hoping to hear more dates announced soon. Meanwhile, check out their music below. – Tracy Mamoun
