[Exclusive] Stream Zeus “Say Us” and win tickets for London show

TLOBF and Oh! Canada have teamed up with those good folk at Arts and Crafts to offer an exclusive preview stream of Zeus‘ debut album Say Us in honour of the bands UK tour. We are also giving away a pair of tickets for the bands London show Upstairs at the Relentless Garage on November 22.

While Say Us may be the debut release for Zeus, they are no strangers to the Canadian scene, having acted as Jason Collett’s touring band, as well as contributing to albums by Hayden and Jamie Lidell. Having built a reputation as studio perfectionists (the band remastered Say Us three times in order to ensure they were 100% happy with the sound of the record), they’ve also opened up their East Toronto studio, Ill Eagle, to take on production duties for the likes of Bahamas, Jason Collett and The Golden Dogs.

But what of Say Us itself? The album is a collection of fuzzy gems that hark back to a time when pop wasn’t a dirty word, packed full of dual guitars, fuzzy organs and buzzing basslines and coo-ing harmonies. As Jason Collett said on these very pages last year:

“Just one of the three singers/multi-instrumentalists from this band would be a force to reckon with, but when you combine the savvy talents of all three on one record you have a triune god lobbing thunderbolts from on high.”
