Sound Inside by Breaks Co-op

‘The Sound Inside‘ is a genuinely interesting album made by that polymath of indie, Zane Lowe. It is, perhaps, a little too interesting. It's an album by people who know their music intimately and know what makes a great record.
Now, It'd be crap, obviously. Even with Tim Jonze on maracas. Taking the non crap route The Zipper’s band flirts with samples, acoustic guitars, beats, spoken word and proper vocals like an indie DJ Shadow or a hip-hop Gomez. Some of it is beautiful like the trip-hop of ‘Too Easy’ or the acoustic ‘A Place For You’. Always tasteful, always just the right sound, but, despite this, at times it lapses into being curiously bloodless. That said. it's a record that you'll
warm to in the early hours of the morning. '
