“Like most every record New York collective Zs have released, Grain is a debut.”
…
“Grain makes it clear that they’re unencumbered when it comes to novel approaches but that they remain bound to exactly what Zs has been for so long— great testers of boundaries and binaries, an act so reluctant to pick one option versus another that they’ve refused to choose between the old and the new.”
ZS - live in Tilberg, April 16, 2013

Hear New Diamond Terrifier, the Terrible Records-Signed Sax-Drone Zs Solo Honk
“Out-punk saxophone abuser Sam Hillmer, leader of Brooklyn out-punk mainstays Zs, is releasing his second full-length record as his sax-and-electronics alias Diamond Terrifier. The Subtle Body Wears a Shadow is his first for Terrible Records, the label owned by Grizzly’s Bear’s Chris Taylor. First taste “Triple Gem” is one-fourth of a 30-minute suite that reportedly borrows from drone, ambient, rai, the Ethiopiques series, and even Chicago juke. That’s a lot of stuff crammed through a mouthpiece in just these eight minutes, so feel free to deconstruct or just let the warm waves for Braxton-gone-Eno mush float over you.”
