RadioIndy is pleased to present zOE's iMAGINARY fRIEND with a GrIndie Award for the CD "zOE's iMAGINARY fRIEND"

"zOE'S iMAGINARY fRIEND" is the impressive alternative rock/folk debut from Denver outfit zOE'S iMAGINARY fRIEND. Accompanied by a sensual and effortlessly talented female lead vocal, ZIF's arrangements are diverse and thorough. The songs range from slower acoustic alt-folk tracks to heavy alternative rock, and incorporate, a plethora of instruments, including fuzzy wailing guitars, muted trumpet, poppy piano, and viola. The lyrics also cover a wide range of subjects, from driving trucks to snapping photos, but they all have a great storytelling quality to them that keeps the listener hanging onto every word. "zOE'S iMAGINARY fRIEND" has a raw quality great for the group's sound. "Sweetness" is an energetic, fast-paced rock song with great riffs, rocking beats, catchy lyrics, and an outstanding vocal performance. "Fisheye" aptly begins with the sound of snapping photographs then moves into a mellow drum, bass, and guitar arrangement with more great lyrics and vocals, and some excellent male backing vocals. "zOE'S iMAGINARY fRIEND" is a fantastic debut from a talented set of musicians with an admirable do-it-yourself mentality. Fans of alternative rock, alt-folk, and great female lead vocals should definitely check out this CD.
