2009 sees the arrival of Monster Zoku Onsomb's [MZO] third album - Earth Eaters! At its core, Earth Eaters is a fun album drawing influences from 50's rockabilly to underground dubstep and manages to fuse funk, dancehall and pop aethetics all into one. After two sold out albums in Australia, and two sold out 12" releases in the UK, MZO turn up the heat and deliver their most diverse, yet accessible collection of tunes to date. Songs such as the robo-pop title track "Earth Eaters", the whistle friendly "Children Of The Atom", and the straight up synth rock of "Suicide Sinewave" hark a new edge for MZO. Available worldwide at www.psy-harmonics.com.au online shop in the 'Australian' section or listen & buy now on itunes(link below). Coming soon Earth Eaters 12" double vinyl on Death$ucker!! Stay tuned!
