If you’re like me, you’re extremely excited about the pending release of You’re Weird Now, the new Guerilla Toss album produced by Stephen Malkmus at Trey Anastasio’s studio. Lead single “Red Flag To Every Bull” was fire, and “Life’s A Zoo,” out today, might be even more appealing. As with the prior track, this one incorporates Malkmus’ vocals in a supporting capacity without letting his distinctive persona overwhelm Guerilla Toss’ own unmistakable vibes. It’s a hallucinatory, synth-driven, cartoonish computer pop specimen punched up with cheerleader chants, an uncanny smooth jazz break, and myriad left turns.
