NYC bands on the rise: Zuli tours the NE + plays Baby’s All Right on 08.01

Marrying the spaciness of Electric Light Orchestra’s "Strange Magic" and the sunniness of The Beatles’ "Getting Better," "Better All The Time" by Zuli is a dazzling piece of pop. Off the New York-based quartet’s May-released EP ‘Supernatural Voodoo,’ the synth-roofed song illuminates a lover’s struggle towards peace with playful sensitivity. The band’s mastermind, native New Yorker Ryan Camenzuli, has expressed affection for Animal Collective and the headiness of those contemporary icons comes across in "Better All The Time." With his gentle voice, Camenzuli appears a romantic, though, and, in the end, "Better All The Time" is a love song. Listen to, and watch the A Clockwork Orange-nodding music video, for "Better All The Time" below. As part of their summer tour, Zuli plays at Baby’s All Right on August 1st. – Zach Weg
