I saw them playing live on Italian TV. It was during the 80s when I was extremely young, and I’ve never stopped listening to this song.

Recently signing to Kanine Records in the USA (Chairlift, Grizzly Bear), and Speak n Spell in Australia and New Zealand, Zaza is the musical union of Jennifer Fraser and Danny Taylor, both West Coast transplants who connected by fate in New York.ZAZA resides in Brooklyn. They are a musical marriage of Jennifer P. Fraser and Danny Taylor. They write for each other, they write about each other, they write to exalt and exact the other. And they hope it turns you on, too.

Lifted from their debut album, Friday Night Lights, which was released in September.

Massive Attack / Unfinished Sympathy

The Smiths / Stop Me If You Think You’ve Heard This One Before
