Recorded in an un-insulated room at a legendary musician house in Amherst imbued with the influence of the decades of artists who dwelled there before, the songs of “Blue Distances” are contrastingly stripped-down and for the first time primarily feature acoustic guitar.
Lyrically it expands on a collection of poetry she wrote and released in 2023, mining themes of lost feelings, solitary travel and touring with bands, meditation, and vignettes of the Western MA music scene.

Blue Distances: “There's a stunning ease to the songs, with Wishbone Zoe's beautiful voice acting as a mesmerizing comfort.” - Dan Goldin, Post-Trash“(Micro-Mirage)offered a delightful dose of sugar spun indie pop that felt both detached and disorienting” - Dan Goldin, Post-Trash
“The Amherst musician (and animator, videographer and poet) uses her EP Micro-Mirage almost as a lure, on three songs that are distinctive, and distinctly different. (On “Microwomb”): “she talk-sings her lyrics over a boom-bap beat and the whirring, clanking industrial sound of an MRI machine“...(On “Find Out Why”): Zoë replaces the loping, bass-heavy instrumentation of the original with prismatic layers of her voice“ - Eric Danton, Freak Scene
On EIEIEIO:
“(Gorgeous Split is) part spontaneous combustion...part spoken word poetry...EIEIEIO manages to thread a needle of making spontaneous music that at the same time feels intentional and timeless” - Jon Shina, The Shoestring
“EIEIEIO’s sound is a vision of what pop could be...With brevity always at the forefront, EIEIEIO create tangled music that never feels grandiose or overthought.“ - Dan Goldin, Post-Trash
“...a zany and untamed musical abandon that roars from the speakers almost breathlessly...with Hella/Lightning Bolt clatter and intensity...their tightly wound execution is met with an almost absurdity in structure and wit that permeates everything“ - Kris Handel, Post-Trash
