ZENITH was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Recording Package.

CMJ (11/27/00, p.18) - "...Yes, power-pop is the ticket here, and this band does it uncannily well, echoing Big Star-obsessed bands like Teenage Fanclub, Matthew Sweet and the Posies..."

This is one of the finer offerings from the new breed of "Modern Pop" groups. Why? Because Jigsaw Seen has always defied the strictures of that movement by being unafraid to explore the edges of so-called "pop" music. The Wondermints produce beautiful and even lush-sounding pop. But for a rougher and more realistic world view, try this CD. Zenith tracks run the gamut from the Big Star influenced "Letter to the Editor," the Byrds-Idle Race sounding "Girl on a Red Velvet Swing" all the way to the Hitchcock-like (Alfred, not Robyn) "Fiddlesticks". A true winner from a great band!
