Zambri and Hooray for Earth are (or maybe were?) two of the most underrated electronic bands to come out of Brooklyn in the late aughts/early ’10s. They shared an adventurous, borderline experimental approach to pop, the former leaning towards complex song structures and abstract melodies and sounds, the latter more focused on creating edgy and organic sounding arrangements for their melodic tracks, filled with industrial and psychedelic influences. Two of the leading musicians behind these two projects, Jessica Zambri and singer and multi-instrumentalist Noel Heroux, are now collaborating on a new band called Solvey. Judging from single ‘Redlight’ (video streaming) the duo’s musical direction sounds slightly less electronic and more dreamy, although the other single/video ‘The Weight‘ contraddicts these impressions right away, doubling down on experimentation and noise. We are looking forward to see what other surprises the upcoming full length will reserve, it’s scheduled for a fall release. Solvey is unveiling a new video tonight (08.13) at the Wythe Hotel.
