Zoey Van Goey kicked off 2010 by impressing the ever-discerning Chemikal Underground as the label's newest signing at its 15th anniversary bash. As the year ended they found themselves headlining centre stage at the Belle & Sebastian-curated Bowlie 2 All Tomorrow's Parties festival. In between they tested out new material at a series of Difficult Second Album Syndrome research gigs in Glasgow. The title of the resulting LP, 'Propeller Versus Wings', has been inspired by Powell & Pressburger's magnificent 'A Matter of Life & Death', a film with which it shares a sense of romance and adventure. Perhaps emboldened by the addition of the multi-talented Adam Scott, this collection of songs sees Zoey Van Goey displaying a newfound musical confidence, borrowing freely from disparate styles while still sounding like themselves, in a fashion not dissimilar to heroes Yo La Tengo and The Magnetic Fields.
