Autobahn, from New York City, vast-american skies of noise, Can for the insurgent age, bubblegum Glenn Branca, three-pieces in orchestra, together, bodies in drone, for glowing return of strings, snare, cymbals-in total light. Findlay Fullarton (guitar/electronics), Louisa Tantillo (cello/bass), Liam Barton (drums).“Zastava is a music maker of motor city’s new generation worthy of knowing their names, which are Mateja Matic, Arman Bonislawski, Cam Frank, and Ollie Elkus. On a night out in the East Village, I caught their set and though I had heard the recordings and been a fan, I was struck by their live performance. I was captivated. Inspired, even. I felt like I wished I had learned to play guitar instead of earning an English degree. Their fervor and precision chaos applied to an on-stage presence that was both confident and scrutable, assembled yet dangerous, combined with songs that are genuinely danceable and undeniably alluring and specifically and emphatically not the same old half-hearted sadboy dogshit being chucked out by the flacid idiots who happened upon a pirate stream of the Meet Me in the Bathroom documentary their first year at NYU film school and who plague dozens of curated ‘hot new indie’ Spotify playlists, all in my view added up to one thing for Zastava: quality. Zastava had the room - it was completely theirs - and their music earned them the right to it.” –monsterchildren.comThe Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is an American think tank focused on U.S. foreign policy and international relations.
