Nina Miranda and Chris Franck present: 'Zeep'

Zeep is the musical collaboration of Nina Miranda and Chris Franck. Both met in the band Smoke City and have worked on and off on side projects since 1995. This album re affirms their partnership and shared labour of love for Brazilian music. The album was recorded between London and Rio and has a very loose, collaborative feel as other friends/musicians from both sides of the Atlantic guest. All at once spontaneous and fun, a sense of leisure and enjoyment permeates this LP. While the LP is predominately acoustic it’s no less energetic. The structures and compositions strike a chord in your core before the lyrics resonate but that is the point. The themes all revolve around living and loving life. On the street samba march of 'Come Away With Me' a chance encounter with a passerby leads to a romantic evening of discovery. There's also the deeply beautiful samba 'Agua'. A song that shares the importance and beauty of life giving water and how as a natural resource it should not be privatized. While this may be a buffer between Da Lata albums it’s no less significant. Zeep may be the project that hints off which direction the third Da Lata LP takes. In the meantime enjoy all that Zeep have to offer as it beckons the spring and summer to arrive soon.
