Joy Zipper – Ron

JOY ZIPPER - RON

Moody, grainy, marginally lo-fi - Crud has video streams from New York's gorgeous new breed of lazy underground - Joy Zipper.

10/09/2002

It starts off with a soft black and white film clipette of a girl floating on her back through rippled waters and then cuts to shots of that girl and a man – a companion, a boyfriend, a casual lover, who’s to say – lazing around, walking through streets in the sunshine, heads crashed on pillows, on the beach as waves lap up gently. An innocent, personal and above all happy road movie that could be taken from any recent era. All the while the most sumptuous sun-kissed melodies and guitar strokes build as the soundtrack, hushed words reminiscing about “when we were young”, epic and simple. Sounding like the sleepier, uncomplicated cousin to the Delgados’ luscious ‘American Trilogy’ it is simply a beautiful piece.

That is the video for ‘Ron’, which you can experience for yourself by clicking below. They are Joy Zipper, a male/female duo from Long Island, New York, a snapshot of independent, carefree, untied America. They even have gorgeous names that you’d snuggle up to for warmth – Vinny Cafiso and Tabitha Tindale. Their second album, ‘American Whip’, is to be released January 2003. We suggest you should be awaiting the new year with a faint eagerness. From other tracks we’ve heard they take frames from REM, the Breeders, Velvet Underground, Stereolab, Belle & Sebastian and The Lemonheads, but don’t sound like any of them individually. Perfect lazy music, with a strong heartbeat. We like and we think you will to. No effort required.
