Playing live at The Grove in Anaheim, April 26th.

Zoé formed in Mexico City in 1995, sharing a passion for the music of the Beatles, Placebo, The Cure and The Stone Roses. Their new album, Reptilectric, is at once brash and tender, psychedelic and anthemic. Upon its November Mexican release, Reptilectric debuted at the top of the Mexican pop albums chart and quickly earned gold certification.

One can hear in Reptilectric the mark of Zoé’s longtime producer, Phil Vinall, whose work with Radiohead, Pulp, Elastica and Placebo initially caught the group’s attention early in their career together. Zoé invited Vinall to mix its self-titled 2001 debut album, and the band has placed its complete trust in the British producer ever since. “This album has his touch, 100%,” says bassist Angel Mosqueda. “He has been our guru in many senses.”

The Mexican press has greeted Reptilectric with glowing accolades. The Mexican edition of Rolling Stone awarded the disc 4 ½ stars (of 5), calling it “one of the year’s best albums.” And now U.S. audience get to experience them live as they tour the states.

Reptilectric’s scope is captured in its title track, a David Bowie-inspired space oddity with driving guitars and ethereal vocals. Zoé continues to show its range throughout the album—from the dancefloor-friendly “Ultimos Dias” to the new-wave psychedelia of “No Hay Dolor.”
