The Zolo Thread
When I came across the album True History by Mordan Jaikel (which is highly recommended btw), I learned a term that encompasses a lot of my favourite music: zolo. I thought I'd make a thread about it since there isn't one yet.

While zolo contains elements associated with Progressive Rock or New Wave, zolo itself is a creative thread that runs independently of both of these genres.

So basically, Residents worship based Rock-in-opposition but with some wiggle room. Post the gems of this fun vein of experimental music.
