ZOOK (Nashville, TN)

The music Zach Tittel makes as Zook has a lovely unstuck-in-time quality, stemming from his gentle folk-and-psych arrangements, whistle-worthy ’70s-pop chord progressions and vocal delivery that makes me think of Marc Bolan and Lou Reed dueting on a lullaby. It’s a pretty perfect match for his songs, in which his characters are trying to make their way through a world in motion, which is a source of both wonder and stress. There’s a balance between having a community to rely on and needing some space to process, which he articulates contemplatively in “What’s It to You,” a standout from his 2018 LP Garden Variety: “I’ve got my reasons and pyramids / Yeah it’s a secret, better keep it hid / You wouldn’t crack my lid / With your digging crew / If you understand / What I’m going through.” -- STEPHEN TRAGESER (Nashville Scene)
