Joy Zipper is the debut album by the New York duo Joy Zipper, released in 1999. [1]
The duo recorded the album over two years, using three different home studios. [9]
AllMusic wrote that "each pensive, dreamy song manages to be part of an intrinsic whole without being redundant." [6] Trouser Press wrote: "Whether the relationship numerology of 'Like 24 (6 + 1 = 3)', Joy Zipper‘s opening track, actually adds up to anything is debatable, but the melody is a gift from the god of Brian Wilson’s teenage symphonies." [10] The Evening Standard called the album "crammed with dream-struck, kooky melodies, rich textures and peaches 'n' cream vocals from Tabitha Tindale swirling gorgeously around Vinny Cafiso's darker tones." [11]
