1) A Mexican rock band, that's not not afraid of experimenting, with a modern sound, an eclectic style, some British influences & overall, their music's sophisticated without loss of rock energy. Their lyrics cover many subjects / feelings, with the same level of sophistication that their music shows, plus honesty. They usually write songs in Spanish, sometimes in English or a combination of both languages.
They began as a band in 1994; as time went by, the band changed members several times until the definite lineup stuck in 1997 with León Larregui (vocals and guitar), Sergio Acosta (guitar), Beto Cabrera (drums), Ángel Mosqueda (bass) and Chucho Báez (keyboards). Then the band made a demo and many gigs on their own with the little resources that they had; with all that, Zoé began to call the attention of the hispanic radio stations in the U.S. Later in 1998, Zoé signed a record deal with Sony Music Mexico and began making their first record in 2000; this album, self titled, came out and quickly became a favorite of the audience in Mexico; after that, the band performed songs in soundracks of movies such as 'Amar Te Duele', 'Ladies Night' and 'The Dreamer'.
Fast forward to 2003. Zoé, along with producer Phil Vinall (Placebo, Elastica, Pulp), recorded their second album called 'Rocanlover', which became more successful than the first one thanks to hit songs like 'Peace & Love' and 'Veneno', which aired in several TV countdowns.
In 2005, after three years of working together, Zoé left Sony Music because of the lack of real interest that this record label had in them and signed a new deal with Noiselab; with a newfound belief in record labels, Zoé made an EP called 'The Room', which debuted at the top of the rankings in Mexico. This EP includes, among others, the song 'Dead' (first single); also,are including "She Comes" and "Morning Watts" as new songs and also some remixes of "Dead" by great electronic artists from Mexico such as Sonido Lasser Drakkar or Los Dynamite, plus a couple of videos.
On July 12th, 2006; Zoé (now wih Rodrigo Guardiola in the drums) presented their more recent production, "Memo Rex Commander y el Corazón atómico de la Vía Láctea", a sophisticate, layered production, which tops several magazines' rankings. Both Zoé and producer Phil Vinall worked very hard in Tornillo, Texas, a remote town in the desert, to get "Memo Rex" finished.
In fall 2006, Zoé headlined the Rockampeonato Tour, along with other Noiselab signees like Los Dynamite and Los Odio!, which held shows at cities like Mérida, Guadalajara and many others. This is the biggest tour Zoé has been a part of since they were formed.
In 2007 Zoé recorded "281107", a live album that celebrates their first 10 years as a band, it was recorded on the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City, this recording went platinum pretty quickly which is something unusual for live recordings in Mexico. On November 11th 2008 "Repileptric" Zoé's seventh studio album was released.
2) An alias of Zoë Pollock (b. in Peckham, London, UK - aka Zoë, Zoe, Hepzibah Broom & Pollack), is a pop / rock / folk singer who began her career in the mid-80s, dated Martin Glover (aka Youth, who produced her early work), released three solo albums (two as Zoë, another as Hepzibah Broom) & several singles. She is now a member of Mama.
Her 1991 début, Scarlet Red And Blue (originally, released as Zoë's Scarlet Red And Blue), contained Sunshine On A Rainy Day & "Lightning" (aka Sunshine On A Rainy Day & Lightning, with 'Zoe' spelling), which have been her biggest hits, to date (peaking at #4 & #37, respectively - on the UK chart).
In 1996, Zoë re-emerged - still with M & G Records & bringing a revamped image / style / sound - releasing an americana-styled rock album, Hammer.
Re-emerging again, around 2008, she has released Hepzibah Broom (as Hephzibah Broom) & formed female folk duo 'Mama' (with singer Sarah McQuaid - their début release is Crow Coyote Buffalo).
3) A French-speaking variétés françaises singer, whose tune "Je Porte Un Toast" sounds like a cross between Françoise Hardy & Lamb.
Ciudades Invisibles
Zoé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Estática en el jardín
Flota la lluvia en el aire
Con películas de otra dimensión
Voces melancólicas
Susurros de humanidad
Que danzan con la neblina
Y que se apoderan de la escena final
Y después secos los dos
Florecer entre piedras
Sí al final salgo de mi cuerpo
Y hago girar el cristal
Y después me aferro al misterio
Y vuelvo a abrir semillas en saturno
Sí al final salgo de mi cuerpo
Y hago girar el cristal
The Zoé’s song Ciudades Invisibles is a poetic piece that evokes strong emotions through its surrealistic imagery. The song opens with the description of an invisible city where it rains in the air, and melancholic voices and whispers dance with the mist. The singer longs to bloom between stones, possibly a metaphor for overcoming obstacles and coming out triumphant.
The chorus shifts the focus to the singer's spiritual journey. They describe leaving their body and spinning the crystal, which could be a reference to a psychedelic experience, to uncover the mystery of the universe. The singer embraces the unknown and takes a leap of faith to open new opportunities for growth, symbolized by the metaphor of opening seeds on Saturn. The repeated line "sí al final salgo de mi cuerpo" emphasizes the importance of self-discovery and transcendence.
Overall, the song is a beautiful expression of longing for spiritual and emotional growth, using surrealistic imagery to transport listeners to an invisible city and encourage them to embrace the mysteries of the universe.

Blossoming among stones
Sí al final salgo de mi cuerpo
Yes, at the end I leave my body
Y hago girar el cristal
And I spin the crystal
Y después me aferro al misterio
And then I cling to the mystery
Y vuelvo a abrir semillas en saturno
And I open seeds on Saturn again
Sí al final salgo de mi cuerpo
Yes, at the end I leave my body
Y hago girar el cristal
And I spin the crystal

Zoe es una banda original , nadie compare. La gente nunca queda a gusto siempre buscan un detalle.
@void1398
No es el echo de sentirse drogados, es el echo de que la verdadera esencia de Zoé es la exploración interna de ser así como del universo infinito de los multiversos a nuestro alrededor que no se perciben con facilidad León así como la banda buscan la conexión de lo metafísico de lo espiritual y por eso su expresión tan cósmica con la música.
@IanChuey1996
Para mi esta rola, representa la verdadera esencia de Zoé, además de muchos elementos nuevos. Tanto la música, la letra como los sonidos extraños (un avioncito, un matamoscas eléctrico, sintetizadores, guitarras con efectos asombrosos) dan un ambiente urbano. Como dice el nombre de la rola: Ciudades Invisibles.
@hoyola1
Por favor dale un forward de tu mensaje a Lewis Benitez arriba que dice que fueron inspirados por los Beattles , etc. Parece que es la primera cancion de Zoe que escucha y ya se cree muy conocedor. Tal como dijiste amigo esta es la verdadera escencia de Zoe. Psicodelia.

@LuisDiaz-dk8us
Es la mejor descripción que he visto sobre la canción, definitivamente mi preferida del disco y completamente de acuerdo esta canción es Zoé en toda su esencia. La psicodélia que me atrajo a ellos, sus sonidos extraños están presentes en esa canción. GRANDE ZOÉ!!!
@eduardorodas550
Esta canción me recuerda muchísimo a las tardes saliendo de la escuela cuando me quedaba en el parque cercano a escucharla, porque no me gustaba el lugar donde vivía, lejos de mi familia. Vaya que Zoé y sus canciones me "consolaban" en esos ratos de melancolía. Los amo.
@katterinemartinez7509
Canción que te lleva a otra dimensión, a otro nivel sin necesidad de drogarse.
Es como estar en el espacio, los sonidos , el misterio, lo buena que es ❤️
