CRYING OCEAN - My Juliette

Like a heroin-addled Nico meeting Jane's Addiction to collaborate on a ska tune. The rakish vocals perfectly complement the laissez-faire musicality, suggesting it was recorded on downers with not a care in the world. - NEW-NOISE.NET

Federico Zig is an Argentinian who moved to London in 2000 at 19 years of age, hoping to let loose his artistic and musical talents in the 'old smoke'. His band 'My Juliette' is theresult with an EP release called 'Crying Ocean'.

I personally would have used the name 'Zig' or 'The Zig' but his choice probably reveals more of his dreamy, sensitive nature which comes through on the EP. Pleasant listening it is too with the white reggae based 'My Wings', the Jeff Buckley style 'Ghost Song', electric guitar riffed 'Crying Ocean', indeed all 6 tracks have an endearing quality. Some of the melodies remind me of early Aztec Camera in their delicacy; dreamy is a good word for Zig.

On the Pink Onion record label, which linked to Rough Trade is a goodenough guarantee for validity, inspires to check out Zig (yes I like that word) on www.myjuliette.org for download links and to be impressed. - MUSIC-NEWS.COM
