Rising Artist-Dragons of Zynth

Every great city at one point or another will get a "scene" to emerge from it. Right now, the "scene," or great sounds in American music are coming from Brooklyn, NY. This month's rising artist, Dragon's of Zynth are no exception. The Brooklyn natives have caught the ears of listeners city wide and beyond, even getting a slot playing at this years Siren Fest in Cony Island. Their blend of 60's psychedelica mixed with 21st Century production are the perfect combo to display their soul/ thrash / garage sound. Think Saul Williams fronting TV on the Radio, Dragon's of Zynth have been rising to popularity in their native New York this past year. The band's debut Coronation Thieves is a complex and well constructed record that goes beyond debut expectations. It is an artistic statement about the world that encompasses us and is something to have on with lava lamps or just riding the subway. A band and record worth checking out.
