Description
King Planet, a seven-track CD-EP, is the final effort by the American alternative rock band Fold Zandura (though at this point the band had shortened their band name to Foldzan), independently released on the band’s own label Nowhere Music in 1999. The EP was recorded and mixed by the band at The Green Room in Huntington Beach, California. “Way You Are” features vocals by Carla Joy Lavilla (wife of Jeff Lavilla, a.k.a Jyro Xhan).
This prolific outfit is once again mysteriously out of a record deal, so they’ve released this 7-song disc called King Planet on their private-issue Nowhere Music label. The title track finds the band rocking as loud and straight-up as ever, with nice layered vocals and phat distorted guitars. There’s definitely some reminders of the late great Mortal here… The band is sounding fantastic here. Fans of anything on MTV in the last ten years, from INXS to Depeche Mode could find something to cling to here. Purists will love the dreamy «Lunar Wave», which could easily be the soundtrack of a new Volkswagon commercial or something. While always loving the music these guys have created, I’ve never fully embraced the Fold Zandura incarnation … until now. [DV, HM Magazine, issue 79]
