Zen Baseballbat
Release new album
'BETTER WAYS TO LOVE & OFFEND'
The new material by Zen Baseballbat is a slap in the face, a wake-up call to rip us from the stasis we’ve ghosted into since recession and Brexit took hold. Can’t go forward, can’t go back so we might as well just sit and watch the bombs fall.
No doubt some will say this doesn’t sound like a Zen Baseballbat album, but don’t believe them. The twins themselves will say it sounds different to what they’ve done before but that also is bollocks. The same driving bass pummels the groove, the drums skit around to remind you of the band's love of reggae, the lyrics are still poured over and the outcome remains a difficult birth.
The songs sound amazing and deserve their place next to the heartstring stretch of earlier albums ‘For Refund Insert Baby’ and the two up two down anthems of ‘I Am The Champion Concrete Mixer.
