Zero Cool - (2021) 720p CS

 


Melted Ice Cream – MIC0089

Wellington's Zero Cool present their sophomore album 720p today, along with the visual partner to single 'Raunchy' i.e. one of the most unsettling music videos I've seen so far this year. 720p has an undeniable undertone of something tragic to it, seeping through singer Scott Maynard's emo-pop vocals and fuzzy guitar, occasionally taking you by surprise, like a punch to the gut after a big hug. The super lo-fi clip for 'Raunchy' has a similar sentiment, spying on a would-be romantic picnic that grows increasingly uncomfortable and alarming, with fidgety hand holding, hovering arms and a total uncertainty of time and space. The trio's album is fit to be listened to many times over, malleable enough to suit a sullen solo listen or be the backdrop for a buzzing dinner party. Press play on the latest Zero Cool creation below, starting with this clip, best watched with the image resolution knocked down a notch from 1080p...
