Part two of our list of favorite albums from last year that the music press didn't care enough about.
Today, an encore of my July 2013 interview with Brooklyn's own Zula (recorded on the balcony at Shea Stadium)

Magik Markers. Jacco Gardner. Zula. KILN. Boards of Canada. Nils Frahm. The RBC. Umoja Orchestra. The Poets of Rhythm. Julia Holter. Daedelus. And more...
Zula. Dan Deacon. Leapling. Blood Orange. White Birds. Bibio. Thee Oh Sees. Phosphorescent. Jesse Futerman. And more...
Zula are a young Brooklyn band with a West African name and tunes built around the songwriting of cousins Henry and Nate Terepka. Exploring psychedelic sounds with a heavy dose of delay, their songs are pleasingly disjointed, experimental pop jams that makes clever use of groove and melody -- not to mention a lot of really weird sounds. What it all adds up to is a deliciously unpredictable blend of jazz, rock, pop, electronica, and ambient bits and pieces, strung together through whatever weird magic these guys possess.
DJ Wynn comments an insight from Louis C.K. on smartphones and connects it to new music from Clark. He also shares new cuts from Mum, Zula, and Dr. Dog.
DJ Wynn highlights two NY bands you should become friendly with, The So So Glos and Zula, and he also spins new music from Bill Callahan, Jonathan Rado (of Foxygen), and Islands.
