Ongerijmde Rijmen by Zero Years Kid

“I wish I was two dogs, then I could play together”

Zero Years Kid is a brand new Belgian / Irish pop music duo featuring Flemish vocals in a unique meeting of experimental music and R&B.

Their debut album Ongerijmde Rijmen features 16 songs that portray in various ways the Dutch word 'miltzucht' – an elusive feeling of discomfort, dissatisfaction with the world. Lyrically and formally inspired by Dutch writers Godfried Bomans and Michel van der Plas, ZYK follows in the lineage of overcoming their confusion with the world with humor, the self effacing, and the unintelligible. Whether humbly ('Verloren in de taal', 'Kleine handjes') or through feigned confidence ('Vloeiend en precies uitdrukken', 'De laatste loodjes'), this new project wants to find hope when faced with confusion.

Although more frequently known for their works with European improvisors Han Bennink, John Butcher and Henri Texier, with this new album ZYK (Joachim Badenhorst/Sean Carpio) want to lose themselves in the translation of language, mixed genres and technologies; to present an album of songs that profess to an instinctual and playful reading of the world; to tie a rope to a vision.
