Zea and the Copper Children- Copper Children
by Tim Wenger
Zea and the Copper Children is a new name to us here at CMB. The group recently dropped their album Copper Children at Lost Lake. Their sound is an interesting one- dominated heavily by blues, I was able to detect elements of indie rock, soul and a touch of folk in the songs as well. The track “Nowhere” resonated with me the most, presenting what proved to be an introspective view of life in general- “that’s just the way it goes.”
What is most appealing about this band, despite the slow demeanor of the music, is the honesty of the lyrics. Having never heard them before, I found easily drawn in to what Zea Stallings has to say in a way that I haven’t been able to with local music for the last few months. They also have a bit of a naturalistic feel to their music. With some well-timed gigs and a stream of solid promotion, Zea and the Copper Children could make a large footprint not only in Denver, but throughout the mountain towns of Colorado.
