NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH ZURICH

INTRODUCTION / ANNIE TAYLOR

Annie Taylor’s slick, sludgy riffs are not exactly the first thing you think of when you think of Switzerland. Despite their (slightly) tongue in-cheek assertion that they love The Alps, chocolate and cheese, the four-piece hailing from Zurich seem to a truly global proposition. Their effortless blend of grunge, psychedelia and surf rock creating tracks that blow you away with the crunching sounds, but draw you in with the soaring hooks. The band’s debut album Sweet Mortality (out now via Taxi Gauche Records) was forged in their native city, so its DNA is infused within. Here’s some of their favourite spots in Zurich.
