"Pain, heartache and loss never sounded so gorgeous!"

Vibro-phonic recordings is pleased to announce the release of Zoloto, the best of Skooshny, a 20 track career retrospective featuring 4 new songs.
This modest band, with its equally modest official recorded output (3 albums on London based Minus Zero Records), has consistently produced music of rare quality: spectral harmonies, labyrinthine song structures, and playful, literate lyrics that transcend the low-budget productions to which they were constrained to resort.
Critics have likened Skooshny to the Byrds, REM, Love, the Kinks, Green Pajamas, and the Left Banke, pretty much what you'd expect from an L.A. band emphasizing melodic structures, harmonies and multi-layered instrumentation.
For years a devoted coterie of fans, collectors, and writers has revered Skooshny. With Zoloto, the opportunity is here to discover a fine, potentially brilliant band lost in limbo.
Michael Penn performs on and produced several tracks on Zoloto.
"Ranges from perky pop to free-form folk...and beyond"
- NME
"Irresistible"
- LONDON SUNDAY TIMES

Zoloto chronicles the on-again/off-again career of three reclusive musicians who create timeless and well crafted California folk-rock songs. Mark Breyer's vocals, which can be easily compared to Tom Petty, fits perfectly with Bruce Wagner's beautiful guitar work, especially on tracks such as "The Water Song", "Even My Eyes" and "Science Changes Everyone". Skooshny's career might be an enigma to some but Zoloto gives us the opportunity to experience the greatness of this L.A. trio.
