PRAISE "...Zach Madden rises to the top of an already creamy, talent laden genre. Fans of wistful, well-crafted rock in the mode of Wilco or Beck's latest releases will not be disappointed." --Andrew Hultkrans, author of Forever Changes (Continuum, 2003) and former Editor in Chief of Artforum's Bookforum. "...great stuff!" --Chris Douridas, Renown Musical Director and DJ for Los Angeles' KCRW. Here are two cuts off the eponymous solo debut record of Zach Madden. The album was produced by Bruce Winter (music credits: Toad the Wet Sprocket; Soundtrack work (with Reinhold Heil): The Princess and the Warrior, Iron Jawed Angels). This vocally driven rock, on which Madden sings, songwrites and plays guitar and drums, has garnered comparison to Creeper Lagoon, Death Cab for Cutie and Pink Floyd. ****Zach Madden was recently one of the top five requested artists of the week on Los Angeles' influential KCRW radio station. ****He has received airplay not only on KCRW, but also on KLOS (Los Angeles), and in Santa Barbara on KTYD and KJEE. ****In his former band, Mark Twain, he sang and co-wrote a number one song on www.garageband.com with "Waiting for the Change."
