Legendary subway buskers, a drums-and-two-horn salvo that builds EDM-like energy, using blossoming repetition and Skynerd-planned solos as a crowdmoving riff on jazz. What's undoubtedly thrilling live, especially when stumbled upon, doesn't quite work as an album. Subway Gawdz ends up ringing of gimmicky plundering of not-rock beats, sounding like Gogol Bordello or Beats Antique.
Horn-based rockist instrumental music is a narrow space. It relies on novelty and live energy to get there, and much like minor local legends The Hornitz*, Zooz don't find a way to translate that energy into an exciting home listen 3/5
*is there a rule somewhere about adding a "z" to your rockist horn band name?
