DOMINION DEMOS 2019-2022

As we await another release from this great band, Ryan Stevenson the genius behind Zopp keeps us on our toes by offering different versions or visions of his 2022 masterpiece, Dominion. This time, it's a collection of demos and unreleased takes that sometimes makes you feel like you're listening to a brand new record from Zopp.

The demos sound great, leaning toward a more experimental approach than the final album. It's fascinating to hear how some songs evolve into others, while certain ideas remain fully formed from the start.

Andrea Moneta's drumming stands out he maintains rhythm and timing with a distinct, dynamic touch, he definitely is the best counterpart on Zopp his way to understand the music that he played really surprised me Moneta is a great drummer.

The sound is excellent, carrying a worn-in quality that adds a unique character to the listening experience.

Everything I mentioned in my previous Zopp reviews still holds true. Although this is an unfinished work, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the creative process of these two musicians. I eagerly anticipate their next release hopefully sooner rather than later.
