Say Zuzu - Here Again: A Retrospective (1994-2002) - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Double vinyl LP pressing. Say Zuzu is an Americana rock band from New Hampshire. Originally formed in 1991, Say Zuzu recorded and released nine full-length albums before disbanding in 2003 and reuniting in 2019. The band's first on Strolling Bones Records is Here Again A Retrospective (1994-2002) and includes highlights from the group's five studio albums recorded during it's touring heyday. 'For those who haven't met our music before, these are highlights from five records released between 1994-2002. The songs focus on the large internal lives of people in small mill towns like ours. This record also chronicles a decade of growth from a fiercely independent, self-produced New Hampshire band that flew under the radar during the heyday of the 1990s alt-country movement. The title of the record, InchHere AgainInch, is inspired by a song from our 1994 self-titled record. We've always sought to write songs that hold up, personal songs that are durable and can stand on their own in a variety of arrangements. InchHere AgainInch is one of those songs. It's also a fitting title for a record that's an opening salvo from a recently reunited band with it's first new studio record forthcoming in Fall of '22.
