Zettajoule
Dark, danceable synth-pop
Electronic; Pop
Duo
“Zettajoule first formed in 2014 as a lo-fi quartet but these days they’re reduced to an efficient indie pop power pair. Keyboardists and vocalists Meggan Carney and Matthew Sheffer are the sole musicians on their upcoming six-song EP, Always Looking Up and if that’s not impressive enough for you, they recorded and produced everything on their iPhones.“ —KUTX
BIOGRAPHY
Austin’s Zettajoule have done a lot of growing since their last release in 2015, which, in this case, means shrinking, paring down from a full band to a stellar synth-pop duo. It’s that shrinkage, however, that seems to have truly allowed Meggan Carney and Matt Sheffer to grow. Their latest EP Always Looking Up sees the duo taking their sound and presence up several levels, sounding like pros who have been releasing gold records for a decade. The 6-song EP was recorded and mixed totally on an iPhone before having it mastered at Matt Parmenter’s Ice Cream Studios (Quiet Company, Slomo Drags). The duo each take the lead on two of these tracks, lending the album a luster of the latest in clean, cool synth-pop that can sometimes wax a little new wave.
