Zoology

Zoology is a transatlantic collaboration between Canadian vocalist/guitarist Emily Krueger and British guitarist Beau Diakowicz. Formed entirely over the internet, the duo's sound is a highly refined iteration of the 'bedroom pop' movement, characterized by high-fidelity production and exceptional technical proficiency on the electric guitar.

Their sound identity is defined by 'sun-struck' arpeggios that draw heavily from neo-soul and jazz-inflected indie rock, reminiscent of artists like Lianne La Havas or Tom Misch. Krueger's vocal style is consistently breathy and soft-edged, focusing on themes of romance and escapism. Since their 2016 debut, they have occupied a niche in the 'chill' and 'indie-electronic' scenes, gaining significant traction on streaming platforms through a series of singles and EPs. Critical consensus highlights their ability to blend technical guitar complexity with pop sensibilities, creating music that is both intellectually engaging for musicians and aesthetically pleasing for casual listeners. Their work represents a bridge between the DIY ethos of internet-based collaboration and the polished execution of modern alt-pop.
