Zoey Van Goey make anthemic folksy pop rock with a modern psychedelic essence. A sweet female vocal charms you in a lullaby fashion whilst the song builds up to a gentle crescendo and then the drums kick in, the banjoleke/ukolo is picked away at and lots of proggy sounds explode all over the shop. It's really lovely butIi'd like her voice to return instead of the song petering out in a kind of confused fashion. 'Sweethearts in Disguise' is all really lovely and that, one for the lovelorn, awkward types or fans of Laura Marling possibly? 7" only....

What their label says...

Things have moved quickly for international trio Zoey Van Goey, formed  last year in Glasgow. Snapped up by Say Dirty Records after only their
second gig, they were taken under the wing of Belle & Sebastian front-man Stuart Murdoch, who produced their debut single, 'Foxtrot Vandals'. Mixing
frothy folk-pop tunes with a slight electronic edge, ZVG were feted by The Independent as "on course to hit the big-time over the next 12 months" and
described by The Skinny as "like the Postal Service with a sense of humour".
"Its carefree thrum and woozy harmonies revealing a tasteful rooting in shambling C86-era guitar pop. Elements of folk and ditzy electronica weave
their way through the material" - The Scotsman
