Metal Machine Music

Dragons of Zynth
Coronation Thieves
Release date: September 25, 2007
Label: Gigantic Music


This disc is out of the known universe of current independent music. It is rich, textured and an amazing lift from the crop-o-crap of new releases. Imagine Radiohead, at their most eccentric and blip-heavy. Add a large portion of confidence, swagger and grow the idea in Cincinatti and Brooklyn instead of Oxford, England. Dragons of Zynth start off like Sun Ra channeling proggy pop and it just gets better with every listen. David Sitek, Tunde Adibempe, Kyp Malone, Jeleel Bunton and Gerard Smith of TV on The Radio contribute their amazing talents throughout the 45-minute disc.

• Standout tracks: Who Rize Above, Take It To Ride, Rockin Star

DOZ made more than heads turn at 2007 SXSW Festival, Gigantic Music showcase. The response the band received has a direct-connect to their debut disc, 'Coronation of Thieves,' becoming the most anticipated new release of the year.

'Coronation Thieves' is a pleasure, a wonder and a marvel of rhythmic and psychedelic proportions.
