Review

Every now and then an artist comes my way that turns the world upside down. In fact, this is the album of the year for me. The music is powerful, moving, and will give you pause to listen more closely. What is even more interesting is that she is producing all sounds on the record with just one cello!

I first came across Zoë by listening to a RadioLab interview. Thanks Kate! I recommend you listen the entire interview as well but also sit back and enjoy the live performance of an untitled song that is about 5:45 minutes into the interview. For an MP3 (not something I would normally recommend), the quality is excellent.

10/10

Live Performance

Watch her play a song in her upcoming album live. The video and sound is gritty but enough to get a taste:
