The Zoltars have been around for a while now, but I only stumbled across them late last year after hearing "The Perfect Girl" - a perfect slice of lo-fi pop with hints of garage/psych rock. During SXSW, I was able to get a hold of their debut LP, Should I Try Once More?, and it's been on frequent rotation on my turntable ever since. I'm enjoying the simple, stripped down sound, but the songs are also quite catchy and engaging.

The Zoltars will put out the album on Sundae Records on April 10. The band is also releasing video clips for every song on the album. Lead singer and guitarist, Jared Leibowich, made these videos by re-editing some Super 8mm footage he shot when he lived in Chicago. If you pre-order a copy of the vinyl, Sundae Records will throw in the music video DVD. You can order the album from Sundae Records or digitally on Bandcamp. You can also buy a copy at their release party on April 13 at 29th St Ballroom with guests John Wesley Coleman and Fungi Girls.
