The Zoltars – ‘Here In My Room’
With thermometers bursting and all, the subject of today’s Far Out fancy falls in stark contrast to what a majority of the people of the UK will be doing.
As we welcome ‘Here In My Room’, by Texan garage rockers The Zoltars, as the focus of our feature, I’m almost sure that hardly anybody, if in the right mind, will be in theirs.
And that’s just it. The lyrical body of ‘Here In My Room’ depicts the internal dialogue and self-questioning of reclusion as our main man, Jared Leibowich, lays down for us – “when I go outside, I feel alright”.
We could look at this song as an extended metaphor for depression amongst other psychological disorders, but hey, we’re not therapists or councillors for that matter.
So let’s just look at it for what it is: an enjoyable three-minute track of juxtaposed lyrics and music from a top little band that, from merit alone, deserves a bit more attention.
Another of USA record label stalwarts Burger Records‘ signings, The Zoltars and their quirky kind of indie garage rock won’t let you down.
That’s doubly true if you’re a soul that requires a slightly subtler dose of musical medicine.
