Look at the time. Outta my way. I'm late for Horseface Josey. She's probably outside, folding laundry. Estranged from her family. But she still kicks karate. Sundays she sings Pavarotti. Up late at night, gathering your loose ends in piles. Yeah you brought sweetness and light, but you never smiled. The whole thing, such a sin. Hypothesize all of the ways to change and reanimate. Hare Krisha, retreat upstate, baptize the neighborhood strays. Read your last rights, lotus on your TV, enshrined. Shrugged all your Catholic pride. They say you sense when it's your time But we'll be ok. We'll just pray for Horseface Josey. And I beg, and plead all your faithful devotees could take away all the pain and set down. White light and lace a levitation. Just a bag of blood, on a skeleton. We all decompose in the same ground. And when we reach old age, reminisce frequently. Drive out to see your grave. Recite your blessing.

about

Zinské's first full-length album, “Murder Mart,” is a blend of 90s alt and indie rock-influenced songs that hinges on the individual’s struggle to cultivate humanity despite the psychic detriment demanded by an indifferent socio-economic system.

The 10-track album traverses the nexus of psychic possession, religious dogma, and existential disintegration while drawing on deeply personal yet universal experiences of the westernized condition, including depersonalization (“Disappearing in Yucca Valley”), spiritual oppression (“Horseface Josey”), social injustice and oligarchic fetishism (“Power Con,” “Ortolan Sung”), false promises proffered by media (“TV Guide to the Spirit World,” “Mode Fatigue”), institutionalized rape (“Honeycreeper”) and the macabre underbelly of a suburban upbringing (“Freon Dumb”).

Recorded between 2018-2019 in various studios in the Philadelphia area, “Murder Mart” was engineered by drummer Derek Salazar with assistance from Craig Hendrix (Japanese Breakfast) and mixed by Jeff Ziegler (The War on Drugs, Kurt Vile).
