Premiere: Liquid Liquid’s Sal Principato collaborates with NO ZU for late night session

The NYC no-wave icon makes a rare appearance on the new NO ZU 12″.

If you managed to catch ‘Medusa Music’ – one of our top records of early ’15 – it won’t come as a surprise that NO ZU founder Nicolaas Oogjes cites pioneering post-punkers Liquid Liquid as a direct influence.

Channelling that early ’80s disco-not-disco spirit, Melbourne’s freakiest multi-limbed ensemble are masters of percussive lunacy and wild x-rated boogie. NSFW!

The highlight on their brand new ‘High Gloss’ EP (out today) is a collaboration with Liquid Liquid vocalist Sal Principato himself. Captured during a late night recording session in NYC between the hours of 1am and 6am, this track catches NO ZU at their loosest, dubbiest and most hypnotised.

Of the collab, Oogjes says: “It is particularly exciting to put something to tape that features Sal after our on-going live collaborations with him and with Liquid Liquid being one of our biggest early influences.

“Since I began NO ZU in 2007, Liquid Liquid inspired me, as just a drummer and percussionist, that I could create music simply from intuitive feelings of mood and atmosphere despite my limitations musically – and that this could be a valid point-of-view in the form of sound and the context of place and time that I exist in.”
