If you type 'zebra hunt' into YouTube you will find your way to erm... lots of clips of lions and crocodiles hunting zebras. Not to the songs of this Seattle quartet. Funny that. But it's worth persevering, particularly if you're a fan of the free-rolling fluid guitar songs that The Feelies and The Flying Nun bands made and still make. It's near impossible to write about Zebra Hunt without mentioning these reference points. I did so previously when posting about them on here. Their new record, the eight track Trade Desire is a pretty pure distillation of that sub genre of music. While wishing they'd venture a little bit from the pre-laid path on occasion, within its given parameters it's a neat record.
