Daniel Zelonky

Resisting narrow stylistic or genre conventions since he first appeared as Low Res in 1994, Daniel Zelonky has emerged as a keeper of the flame of ambitious and adventurous, yet rambunctiously entertaining American music. He has woven any number of improbably wondrous hybrid styles with a mischeivous humor and unabashed over-the-top approach to musical arrangement and expression, garnering critical praise and a cult following since his 1994 debut on record. Henceforth, Zelonky’s work (and band) will go under the name "Suite Crude Revue" to reflect the increasing propensity to this sort of showmanship. The CD "Suite Crude: Space Age Gutbucket Afrodelic Jazzploitation" is currently available from cosmoelliptic.com. The previous Low Res albums, Suite Crude Revue - "Approximate Love Boat" , and "Blue Ramen", have been internationally acclaimed and are currently available again on iTunes. "Look Back With Knife", a collection of unreleased, rare & live tracks, and an early works and outtakes set entitled "15 Exitos Grandes De Electro", are also slated for release on iTunes and other services concurrent with the release of Suite Crude Revue - Suite Crude: Space Age Gutbucket Afrodelic Jazzploitation

"What could be more advanced than merging binary and orchestral sophistication with sonority and venture to result in exhilarated Web Age Neo Exotica on an incalculable level to raise the bar to spiralling heights?" - James Dean Brown (Germany)

"The spellbinding "Approximate Love Boat" signifies a high watermark...." -Paul Cooper (Pitchforkmedia)

"Once the initial shock at the cleverness on hand from Low Res is overcome, the next issue is the music, which swings, grooves, and wobbles all over the shop, with an incredible amount of apparent improvisation on hand to keep the illusion of the virtual group jamming its souls out intact." -Grooves Magazine
