Musical Style
Zoot Woman's main genres are electronica, alternative rock and synthpop. Heavy use of both digital and analogue synthesizers is evident on each album. They are known to blend the use of acoustic and electronic instruments to create their sound. This is apparent in the way the group perform the songs live.
Many Zoot Woman songs are characterised by lead vocalist Johnny Blake’s voice. Blake supports his vocal with a very rhythmic guitar playing style. For live performances he favours the Fender Telecaster and Gibson SG guitars.
Zoot Woman cite the bands Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Steely Dan & The Police among their influences.
In an interview with Universal Audio, Adam Blake discusses some of the group's recording techniques.

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or style:
“Sometimes a musical phrase would perfectly sum up
The mood of a moment. One of those lovelorn sonatas
For wind instruments was riding past on a solemn white horse.
Everybody wondered who the new arrival was.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“His style is eminently colloquial, and no wonder it is strange to meet with in a book. It is not literary or classical; it has not the music of poetry, nor the pomp of philosophy, but the rhythms and cadences of conversation endlessly repeated.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
