Something Zesty, born from the remarkable imagination of the gifted Isaac Chamberlain, never ceases to amaze with their freshest sonic creation.
Since its inception in 2020 as a collaborative project between bands, Something Zesty has been on an upward trajectory, consistently releasing music that defies genre constraints.
With two albums, eight singles, and an enthralling YouTube series, their sonic catalogue has become a testament to their unwavering creativity and adventurous spirit.
Joined by the multi-talented Andrew Condon, whose mastery of both guitar and bass is nothing short of awe-inspiring, Something Zesty takes listeners on an exhilarating journey through Isaac’s endless song pool.
In the cozy confines of their Whanganui-based home studio in New Zealand, they have brewed an intoxicating concoction of sounds that pushes boundaries and defies expectations.
As anticipation builds for their forthcoming third album, Isaac boldly asserts that this is the true debut, relegating the previous two releases as mere companions to their wildly inventive YouTube series, “Speed Cooking.”
Inspired by the comedic genius of Flight of the Conchords, Something Zesty would whip up tracks layer by layer, crafting a unique and imaginative musical experience.
The album, lovingly crafted within the cozy confines of their home, boasts the addition of Ethan Coleman on live drums, a contribution that flawlessly melds the elements together. Expertly mixed and mastered by the remarkable Jason Meadows, the album seamlessly transitions into a captivating alt-rock soundscape.
The leading singles, “She’s Right” and “Skinks,” offer a glimpse into this exciting new direction while still retaining the signature zesty grooves that have enamoured fans.
However, it is the latest single, “Funkatiers,” that steals the spotlight, a mesmerizing five-minute dance extravaganza that sees guest vocals from the incomparable Hana Grace Tamatea adding an extra layer of funk and soul magic to the already infectious track.
Adding to the allure of Something Zesty’s latest release is the hella great video that premiered during NZ Music Week this month.
An animated funky get down, it elevates the listening experience to new heights, inviting viewers into a kaleidoscopic world of visual enchantment. It perfectly complements the track’s infectious rhythm and showcases the band’s commitment to creating a multisensory feast for their audience.
“Something Zesty” is a funk-filled delight that effortlessly marries the laidback stylings of Flight of the Conchords with the irresistible grooves of Nile Rodgers. The electric guitar work is an absolute slay, commanding the track with unparalleled finesse and precision.
Prepare to be moved in all the right ways as Something Zesty unleashes their undeniable magic. So go ahead, raise your hands and exclaim, “yeah,” because Something Zesty has arrived to sweep you off your feet with their irresistible charm.
