It's hard to believe that it's already been two years since
Zebra & Giraffe released The Inside. It's even harder to believe that it's
been four years since the band recorded their hugely successful, SAMA
award-winning album Collected Memories. A lot has changed since then. Members
have come and gone and the band's sound has moved from straight-up, radio-hit
rock to a place far darker and more daring than even they could have imagined.
Zebra & Giraffe's latest album,
The Wisest Ones, is the result. “We know
some of the songs from this album won't be played on radio, and to a certain
degree with Collected Memories and The Inside, I always worried about a song's
commercial appeal,” says front man and lyricist, Greg Carlin. “With The Wisest
Ones we really just wrote songs that felt right - songs that almost needed to
get out. Whether they had a catchy chorus, or a chorus at all didn't really
matter. That's not to say there isn't a lot of catchy stuff on this album;
there is. We just haven't been afraid to experiment with our sound and push
ourselves with this album. It still sounds like us; like Zebra & Giraffe;
but it's definitely darker, noisier, and lyrically, a lot more honest.”
