The Zookeepers

"The Zookeeper's Boy" is the fourth single from the album And the Glass Handed Kites by Danish indie band Mew. It was released on 17 April 2006 in two formats: CD single and 10" vinyl. Even before being released as a single, The Zookeeper's Boy was played intensively on Danish radio stations. As a result, before it was even released as a single, it won a Zulu Award for single of the year, and placed as number 1 on Gaffa's list of the top 5 hits of 2005, with the previously-released Mew single "Special," placing second.

Guest top 10s: The Zookeepers
The Zookeepers biffed out our number one record of 2009 - Ballin’ Outrageous. Think of all the amazing records this year - there is a shitload of them - and in our opinion Ballin’ Outrageous is better than all of the rest of them. Here are The Zookeepers favourite albums of 2009, handily arranged in alphabetical order. Good to see they’re not afraid of including their...

The Zookeepers: Gazing Into The Void, Laughing
Imagine the internet – all the insanity, all the zillions of disparate thoughts, all the ridiculous fetishes – condensed into song, and you will have an idea of The Zookeepers. Perhaps they’re among the first bunch of real Internet Bands: shaped not by the content, but its buzzing, ever-altering nature. The Zookeepers craft a shuffle of too-short songs and spun-out ideas...
The Zookeepers
Sassy raps and clusterfucks of synths reign on an icey scape of click tracks that stutter the same as the vocals. Cooing vocals swathed in echo and delay curve over throbbing magma that tinkles with little keyboards. As if The Unicorns metamorphosed into a hip rap group with nerdy synths and drum machines, actually, kind of like what Nick Thornburn of The Unicorns does sometimes (jamming with...
The Zookeepers - Darling
Here’s a great video from The Zookeepers, from their new Elmer’s Paste Land LP. The video features fireworks and instrument destruction - two fine ingredients for a clip. They’ve already biffed out one fantastic record this year - Ballin Outrageous - but clearly, that wasn’t enough for them.<!--break--> Elmer’s Paste Land is a buffet of out takes and jokey jams...

The Zookeepers Reviews

The Zookeepers - Good Looking Out
Not content with sitting on their laurels after we awarded them our number 1 record of 2009 for Ballin Outrageous, the Zookeepers have returned to the studio and biffed out another LP. Holy shit. I guess when you’re on a roll… I must admit, part of me wanted to find something to dislike with their new LP - Good Looking Out. If I wrote another glowing review, perhaps people...
THE ZOOKEEPERS - Giant Black Taco
The Zookeepers - Ballin Outrageous
I’m happy to report that The Zookeepers are back with a completely brilliant new LP. <!--break-->   You can stream it for a limited time, but if you have any ounce of sense you’ll want to purchase it for the measly sum of four American dollars. That way, you get to own it, do what you will with it and pay your respects to a talented bunch of musicians who deserve a...
