"Don't Trust Scarred Survivors" is Zoppo's 11-song, 43 minutes fourth full-length.
The album shows Zoppo breaking away from the lengthy "postrock-ism" from their former CD/LP "Les Aumonts", going back to the more 3-4 minute "pop-song"-structure of their first three albums.
The (notoriously) loud haunting and howling guitar sounds are more present than ever without threatening the for Zoppo so typical melancholic melodies. The slower, more intimate songs buzz (also because of the addition of an organ) quietly with an almost hidden tension lying underneath them.
Discordance, melancholy and pop-feel melt on "Don't Trust Scarred Survivors" in a concrete, direct and lively way together.

The album is available as digipack cd and gatefold lp and is a co-release with Zoppo's own label The Drowning Man.

Two years after their critically acclaimed second album ‘Belgian Style Pop’, Zoppo (four boys from Amsterdam, Holland) come up with their third full-length ‘Les Aumonts’.Consisted the previous two albums of home-taped recordings, ‘Les Aumonts’ is in fact their first studio-recorded album. 

Gave the first two albums a good insight in Zoppo’s sources and intentions (the 80-ties and 90-ties Anglo-Saxon guitar-poptradition), the more layered and sophisticated sound of ‘Les Aumonts’ shows the intensity, intimacy and loveliness as well as the rawness, loudness and noise of the songs in full bloom: The no-nonsense production has made the songs deeper and moodier, more direct, pure and transparent. 

Because of the for Zoppo until now unusual coherency, 'Les Aumonts' shows from the first till the last second better than ever Zoppo's highly personal and very own universe.

The almost not existing productional distance between music and listener makes this album sound natural, lively, direct and intense. With these 18 new songs (+ cdrom track) Zoppo have managed to give the listener a transparent insight into their very own universe. Welcome to zoppoland!
