Every Monday through Friday, we deliver a different song as part of our Song of the Day podcast subscription .

Each and every Friday we offer songs by local artists. Today's selection, featured on the Morning Show with John Richards, is "Haven't Eyes" by Zoos Of Berlin from the 2011 EP Pallister Chant on Time No Place Records . Zoos Of Berlin - Haven't Eyes ( MP3 [...]
Elephant & Castle builds Zoos of Berlin 's "Kingston Gates" into a figurative image, stripping down the original with his own bleak electronics and melancholic progressions. E & C is starting to flex his ability to work within any genre ( his remix for Yalls also dropped this week), and this doleful reinterpretation stands among the best this year. You can purchase Zoos of Berlin 's Pallister Chant [...]
Zoos of Berlin : Haven't Eyes Far from fitting these gloomy grey evenings where we're seeing the sun setting at a quarter past three, ' Haven't Eyes ' is far willing to suit some Samba-led parade out of the office and into the airport, where a flight to some tropical paradise awaits you. Pop at its very essence, with surging guitar stabs giving it enough of an 'alternative' quality, so as not to prevent it from pleasing anyone's welcoming ears. Somewhere in between Duran Duran and Future Islands. Give [...]
Hailing from the suburbs of Detroit, the indie pop quintet Zoos Of Berlin and their splendid new track "Haven't Eyes" off the upcoming EP Pallister Chant recently exploded over at MTV Hive , before we had even summed ourselves to write this very post. Nevertheless, the sweet and newly emerged label TIME NO PLACE is set to release the EP on November 21st, and kindly gave us the exclusive download of the single track. "Haven't Eyes" is probably the poppiest track off the EP (and also built on an extremely catchy guitar riff), but does indeed take interesting turns along its [...]

My eyes are officially fried, but I could turn away from it. Just like the time I looked at that one Beth Ditto picture. Except not in a gross way this time. Zoos of Berlin - Electrical Way

Though originating from Detroit, Zoos of Berlin 's psychedelic, glam-y rock is reminiscent of anything but the monotonous skyline of the Motor City. Exotic horns, a mix of electric and jazz elements, and unpredictable arrangements sound more like celebratory echoes from a Tuscan street parade, or the soundtrack to that eccentric recurring dream from childhood. Fun, upbeat, and refreshingly unique, Zoos of Berlin creates music that molds the most active of imaginations. Stream "Electrical Way" below, and go on a bizarre, bouncy ride through a Roy Lichtenstein painting filled with disco ball lights. Continue the ride with Zoos [...]

Enjoy this Local Music Friday at the Zoologischer Garten. Tell me...what is this Local Music Fridays? We had the pleasure of playing with these guys last month at Cake Shop . It's not that often that I go to a show and actually want to dance to the live music being played. While Zoos were playing, I couldn't keep still. Their tracks have a way of entering with an upbeat, danceable bang and then emptying out into a mellow jam. [...]

Filed under: Video of the Day Artist: Zoos of Berlin Video: 'Black in the Sun Room' Highlight: Trippy animation and superimposed images make for a seriously hypnotic viewing experience.
Zoos of Berlin are from Detroit and are fronted by Trevor Naud who also spent time (maybe still does) in the notoriously unprolific but occasionally awesome Pas/Cal. Unlike that band's sunshine pop, Zoos of Berlin are more buttoned up and immaculate, like a high society tea... but one that desperately wants to be disco-fest. Naud and turtleneck-wearing bassist Daniel Clark keep it regal, but drummer Colin Dupuis and, especially, keyboardist Will Yates are there to party. The result is like a weird mix of Cardinal and Steely Dan, a combination that is perfected on "Electrical Way" which has [...]
