Zopp - Dominion (2023)

The second album from this band from United Kingdom.

The band is a duo with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, piano, mellotron, organ, moog, keyboards, flute and vocals.

The band had help from guests who provided percussion, woodwinds and vocals.

This band crashed onto the scene in 2020 with their self-titled debut album. A lot of reviewers had that album as the album of the year. 

Zopp does Canterbury prog. Egg and Caravan is a good reference here. But add The Tangent, Hatfield And The North and National Health to the list of good references too.

There is also some stylish pop and jazz here too.

There is no denying that the music is quirky and eclectic. It is also pretty melodic. The French Horn is always present and add a lot of weird stuff.

The vocals is great and each track, two of them are ten minutes plus compositions, is almost like artworks.

The result is a great album. It is an album we can add to the list of classic Canterbury scene albums. 

Check it out.
