In 1994, The Swirling Eddies returned from a five-year silence with their most ambitious and imaginative project yet-Zoom Daddy. Gone were the aliases (well, sort of). What remained was their unpredictable spirit and fearless creativity, now channeled into a sprawling, genre-defying, mind-bending album that many fans consider Terry Scott Taylor's lyrical masterpiece.The band began by laying down instrumental tracks-spontaneous, raw, and bursting with sonic possibility. Only afterward were the tracks given absurd titles like God Went Bowling and Disco Love Grapes, daring Taylor to craft lyrics that would match their weirdness. He rose to the challenge and delivered his most intricate, poetic, and theologically rich writing to date.Songs like The Twist meditate on Christ's crucifixion and modern apathy with devastating clarity, while Nightmare at the Elks Lodge spins haunting imagery with gothic flair. And yet, Zoom Daddy is still full of joy and eccentricity-musically traveling from lounge jazz to polka, psychedelic pop to offbeat alt-rock, with layers of vocals and textures that reward deep listening.Now, for the first time ever on vinyl, this cult classic has been remastered by Rob Colwell and pressed on striking 2-LP Opaque Yellow Vinyl, housed in a Deluxe Gatefold Jacket. All the rich extras collectors crave - rare photos, band bios, and classic critical reviews-have been carefully adapted and integrated into the gatefold layout, creating a full immersive experience for fans and collectors alike.If Let's Spin was the Eddies at their quirkiest, and Outdoor Elvis at their sharpest, Zoom Daddy is their most visionary and haunting-an album that sounds like nothing else before or after.Limited to 300 copies. Take the journey. Zoom in. Spin out. Worship weird.Welcome to Zoom Daddy.
