South Brooklyn band One Ring Zero know their food – and their celebrities. The orchestral pop duo emerged in 2006 after releasing "As Smart As We Are", a CD featuring original music and lyrics by top novelists including Margaret Atwood, Paul Auster, Dave Eggers and Jonathan Ames amongst others. The new album takes a similar approach, but replacing authors with top chefs in the lyrics department – isn’t good food a little like poetry after all? One Ring Zero asked David Chang, Chris Cosentino, Mario Batali, Isa Chandra Moskowitz, Michael Symon, Mark Kurlansky, and many more chefs for (yummy) recipes. These were then set to music and sung WORD FOR WORD – musical styles suggested by the chef. Here’s a vegan recipe/song called "Peanut Butter Brunettes" by chef Isa Chandra Moskowitz, featuring ex Throwing Muses and Belly heroine Tanya Donelly’s vocals. The CD/book release party will be at the Brooklyn Kitchen on 11.03.
