Who Cares is the new album from Zeb Zaitz. Produced by David Glasebrook and featuring a handful of longtime collaborators, as well as members of Vetiver, Little Wings, and Range of Light Wilderness, here we find Zaitz mining darkly poetic territory like never before.
Equally influenced by the soundscapes of Brian Eno, the earthy jangle of early Dire Straits, and the wistful romanticism of Jonathan Richman, the songs burst and bloom with the poetry of the cosmos. Zaitz recorded the basic foundations of the songs live with his band, but spent more time experimenting in the studio than ever before. The resulting album features everything from baroque string arrangements to tape loops and ambient synth textures, all bringing a distant richness and variety to the songs.
Who Cares is both a wry send up of a chaotic and meaningless world, as well as a deeply emphatic affirmation of the beauty that still lingers like the last green rays of sunset. It’s an album for beautiful losers and dreamers alike; It’s an album for all of us.
