Zac Hryciak And The Jungle Beat’s “Pale Flower (Demo)”

by | Oct 3, 2013

With vocal harmonies and wacky time signatures and breaks, Richmond’s own Zac Hryiak and The Jungle Beat could be the Capital City’s version of Dirty Projectors.

With vocal harmonies and wacky time signatures and breaks, Richmond’s own Zac Hryiak and The Jungle Beat could be the Capital City’s version of Dirty Projectors. Their new video for a demo version of “Pale Flowers” speaks to their outlandish sound – alternating between “trippy” kaleidoscopic visuals and shots of the band members running around in bucolic nature scenes. Sun spots bounce off of river water or between train cars – or are artificially generated by image-feed back on tube-TVs. We enjoyed it, and we hope you will too.

Check out Zac Hryiak and The Jungle Beat on Bandcamp here and on Facebook here.

They’re playing Friday, Nov. 5 at Gallery 5 – check out more about that show here.
