Zoot Woman was initially best known as the band of Stuart Price, the English dance producer who was at the start of the eighties and electro revival with his project Les Rythmes Digitales (created as his French alter-ego Jacques Lu Cont). Yet it soon became apparent that Zoot Woman was a real band, in which the brothers Adam (keyboards) and Johnny Blake (vocals, guitar) also played an important
… part. Zoot Woman's debut album Living In A Magazine (2001) was full of eighties influences and was therefore ultra hip. So hip in fact that Stuart was asked by Madonna to take part in her Drowned World Tour. When this was over, the gentlemen could start with the new album. Zoot Woman (2003) is another CD that is full of influences from the eighties but goes a lot further than the popular electroclash. Actually you can hear all kinds of things, synthesizers and electronics, but also guitars. Zoot Woman is therefore a varied record, which makes it clear that the eighties revival does not have to be flat and corny and can indeed sound refined. (IV)more
