QUETALBY'S OPUS Z & ZONK!

Opus Z & Zonk! is the first Quetalby tape. Andy and Charlie had recorded together with Michael as Talby, but this session was different. With the help of Olivia and Amy on percussion, Andy and Charlie created long drone pieces using backwards delay electric guitar, a recorder and many keyboards. Of course, there are also the funny pop gems you'd expect from 2/3 of Talby . Then next day Andy and Charlie recorded “Zonk” by themselves each playing many guitars, keyboards and percussion. It clocks in at over 20 minutes and the whole song is backwards!
