Sons Of Zöku are psych-rock trio of Ricardo Da Silva, Ica Quintela and Jordan Buck from Adelaide, Australia.

The trio have been making waves in their native Australia (surely the most reliable source of modern psych) with their free-flowing, energetic and colourful explorations. Sons Of Zöku’s latest single ‘Dead Poets’ is a force of nature; not only the finest to date but without doubt, it is one of the standout singles from 2019. It is a colourful kaleidoscopic onslaught of psych-rock; thunderous drums, seductive grooves, colossal riffs, wailing guitars and vocals but tempered by rich and alluring melodies, eastern touches and the beauty of pastoral folk too. With ‘Dead Poets’
Sons Of Zöku have found a perfect balance between thunderous noise and subtle sweetness, and in doing so deliver a masterclass in psych-rock. As a sort of reference point think the meaty marauding stoner rock of Dead Meadow treated with flourishes of Revolver-era Beatles and the radiant euphoria of Screamadelica. 

Listen to ‘Dead Poets’ below – it is a thrilling ride.
