Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Joy Zipper, the New York duo-cum-couple Vincent Cafiso and Tabitha Tindale, have had no problem over the years with veering from sleazy, psychedelic, My Bloody Valentine-esque songs to the kind of woozy material that wouldn’t be out of place on a Belle & Sebastian album. The Heartlight Set, their third long player, allegedly started life as a Country & Western project, though the boisterous hand-claps and plangent guitar of opener "Go Tell The World" suggests otherwise. By the band’s own admission, this track is out of character; it’s on songs like "Thoughts A Waste of Time" and "Dreams I Had" that they return us to their more familiar languid dreamworld. Some ‘bohemian’ themes are addressed too, notably on "For Lenny’s Own Pleasure" – their fantastic tribute to Lenny Bruce - while "Anything You Sent" and the Donavan-esque "You’ve Changed" coruscate with subtle brilliance. Candid and heartfelt, The Heartlight Set is a stellar example of how to make the influences of the past merge seamlessly with the more relevant sounds of the present. --Paul Sullivan

Product Description

The Heartlight Set is the sound of Joy Zipper fulfilling their promise. It is the record of which we always knew they were capable, but feared they might never get to. The work of two people not only right inside the idea of what they are trying to do, but finally with the artistic and technical means to do it, and do it superlatively. The Heartlight Set is a rocking triumph from a pairing whose time has decidedly come.

4.0 out of 5 stars Joy Zipper have a stab at commercial, grown up stuff, 6 Jun 2005
By Mr. E. Cowie "the_great_gatsby" (Stirling) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
First off, I'm a big fan of Joy Zipper. I used to think that I could survive alone on their music without any other form of nourishment...seriously though, I still listen to their previous releases 'American Whip', 'Joy Zipper' and 'The Stereo and God' an awful, awful lot!
The title of this review may put off some, but anyone who has listened to any of the Vinny and Tabitha's music before will realise that this is no statement of intent, but more an attempt to get what they deserve.
Indeed, it may seem baffling as to why the band (who have suffered terrible luck with releases in the past through record company collapses, poor distribution and much-delayed releases) have not reached a greater level of 'sales' success.
Previous releases have been lauded with plaudits from critics and music lovers for both their brave and beautiful songwriting that touches upon any number of genres.
'The Heartlight Set' kicks off with the brisk opener 'Go Tell The World', seemingly marking out their stall for a stab at a more commercial sound. Big drums, crisp production, clap-claps and Tabitha simply oozing sex appeal in the vocal brings about something not unlike The Velvet Underground or young British pretenders to the throne, The Duke Spirit. However, '1' finds Joy Zipper in more familiar territory. A lazy groove and the trademark harmonious vocals carry a tune that wouldn't be out of place on a Sheryl Crow album (seriously, it's quite radio-friendly).'Thought's A Waste Of Time' is a nice little ballad that could have been on the 'American Whip' album and 'You're So Good' is a mid-paced rocker that comes out sounding a bit like Weezer, was probably a poor choice of single and my least favourite on the album. A bit uninventive for an act known on taking chances but this will do their commercial appeal no harm at all. Next tune up 'Anything You Sent' is good, but only marginally better than the previous tune and follows a similar style.
Where the first five songs sound like a band a lot happier than they previously have done on record, the remainder soon becomes much more interesting due to this.
'For Lenny's Own Pleasure' is absolutely beautiful - possibly my favourite track on the album. For those who know Joy Zipper, this reminds me of 'Check Out My New Jesus' and the lyrics have more depth than previous tracks on the album. Blissed out psychedelic balladry that just epitomises the 'beautiful music for beautiful people' imagery. The quality continues through with 'You Run The Game', a classic Vinny written/sung tune (countrified and acoustic) and 'Window' is equally good, a classic Tabitha written tune (more stomping and rockin').
'2 Dreams I Had' and 'World Doesn't Care' are both touching tunes full of want, lost love and sorrow that remind me of 'Dosed and Became Invisible' and 'Ron'. Very good moments on the album indeed.
Album closers 'Rockdove' and Holy Diver' are where Joy Zipper flex their muscles previously developed and show the talent they possess to write timeless classics though. 'Rockdove' is simplicity in itself. Think 'Baby You Should Know' from 'American Whip' and the loved-up feeling should come rushing back. This is the sort of tune that Belle and Sebastian would write if they came from LA..
'Holy Diver' is a genuinely moving tune. Sublime melodies, clever structure, aching vocals, perfect pace...this has it all and could be a benchmark Joy Zipper song. Sounds a lot like 'Christmas Song' from 'American Whip' but much more melancholy (however, equally touching).
All in all, a mixed bag, but the good still easily outweighs the 2 poorer efforts. Vinny and Tabitha are still making tremendous music but it might be advisable for themm to look at who they want to make music for. I really hope it is still for people like me, and on the basis of this album, they have contemplated ditching my good money in favour of the Mondeo Man. Further through the album though, they must have changed their minds though...thanks you two!!
