#63 - Tired Cossack
from In the Zone with Andrew Boris · host Andrew Boris
Post-punk, grunge, and shoegaze combine in Tired Cossack. He has a unique ability to bend genre and break musical conventions. Themes of joy and melancholy mix with intense, cold industrial rhythms meeting clever songwriting with nods to Ukrainian folklore. The new LP, ZIMA tears through 10 tracks of jagged post-punk, grunge, and cold wave. It’s a cathartic shout into the void about trauma, defiance, and finding beauty in pain.I saw Tired Cossack for the first time at Rainbow Trout last year (having never heard of him) and quickly fell in love with his genre-swinging sound, hooky songwriting, and stand-up-comedy stage banter. Written during a VERY difficult year (which we get into), Stephen has now dropped ZIMA, in my opinion his best work yet.Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7LZt0YpmFcot7UQ7BqOQtqApple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/tired-cossack/1535358837YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TiredCossackInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tiredcossack/Follow the show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inthezone.wpg/
