About Me

ZENEN BIOGRAPHY
With a laptop, a microphone and an aresenal of sounds Jesus M. began to create what two years later would manifest into the new Zenen album titled An End To This Line. In order to immerse himself in the writing process without distractions he left his home in NYC and traveled to Barcelona, Berlin, Miami, New Orleans and several other cities. Inspired by failed relatoinships and influenced by the sounds of Depeche Mode, Massive Attack, Underworld, My Bloody Valentine, Sneaker Pimps, Cocteau Twins, PJ Harvey, Brian Eno and Peter Gabriel , the album is full of electronic beats, textured soundscapes, and layers of synthesized guitars woven together with lyrical intensity. An End To This Line is an album Zenen is extremely proud of and we hope you feel the music as deep as we do. Listen. Feel. Dance.
