Endless is the new album from the Adelaide-based 6-piece Sons of Zöku, following their 2021 debut Sun. This ensemble features Ricardo Da Silva (Vocals, Guitars) and Ica Quintela (Vocals, Flute, Keys, Percussion), both Portuguese-born and Jordan Buck (Bass), Oscar Ellery (Sitar, Guitars), Eddie Hannemann (Drums) and Hannah Yates (Vocals), all Australian-born. The new album also features special guests Lovepreet Singh on Tabla and Paul Ellery on Sax.
They concoct an upbeat, heady blend of psychedelic rock that blends in sing-along chants and a limb-stretching mass of influences from Eastern music, folk, jazz and soul. From the attractive, hazy aquarian lysergic Moonlight to the infectious blues riff of Earth Chant, they make a compelling offering.
Their hypnotic chants and Eastern percussion bring diverse colours to their sound; it’s easy to see how their popularity as a live band has grown, especially with festival audiences; this is made for carefree, long summer days. Hints of early Akron Family float across on the dreamy and uplifting Kuhnoo, while the trippy O Saber demonstrates how they can bring such a broad range of influences into a cohesive whole.
