Not only has this multi-talented artist created an album filled with his signature fusing of genres and styles, coupled with evocative arrangements and top-notch engineering, but ZOOLOOK then tops it off with some brilliant graphic art and visuals to boot. If ZOOLOOK was planning on conquering the world of the arts – then he’s well on his way to doing it. Sublime.”
