Known for their live shows, the group has gained a worldwide following. With 'Living in a Magazine’ Zoot Woman established themselves on the music scene. Credited by many within the industry as one of the most important forerunners of electroclash.
Well-received by critics; NME rated the album 'Things Are What They Used To Be' 8/10 with Camilla Pia writing, “The electro-clash survivors are at their most impressive yet: combining rip-your-heart-out lyrics with instantly singable melodies and frosty synths, all tinged with the occasional flurry of string and disco riffs. This is a masterclass in modern electronic music, finessed by innovation and emotional depth.”
The Guardian’s Dave Simpson writing, “More Than Ever wraps undying love up in big keyboard stabs, Witness is an effective moody stomp, and Lonely By Your Side – a personal/existential crisis in a three-minute pop song – can hold its head up among their heroes.”
Videos including "We Won't Break", and "Memory" have achieved great success for Zoot Woman on YouTube. This album helped expose the band to a worldwide market. It features the singles "Just A Friend Of Mine", "More Than Ever", "Memory", "We Won't Break" & "Live In My Head".
It was announced on their official website that Zoot Woman were in the studio and had begun recording new material for a follow-up album.[2]
On January 1, 2013, the Zoot Woman Facebook and Twitter accounts stated that the band look forward to introducing and touring the new album Star Climbing. On December 11th 2013, Zoot Woman's new single, The Stars Are Bright was made available on iTunes, nearly one year after the initial album announcement.
Other singles from the album Star Climbing include the song Don't Tear Yourself Apart. Stuart Price said in a statement, "We recorded Star Climbing over a three year period between our studios, working on songs and lyrics until we felt like we had found the albums direction. It is our most distinctive album to date, combining all our different tastes and styles into one."

More Than Ever
Zoot Woman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without you I've got no
Love is on our side
Without you I've got no
Waited such a long time
But it's still the wrong time
I can't feel a thing
Know what I believe in
Everything I see in you
Is all I need
And I still want you more than ever
Know there's a way to
The side that you don't show
Walking the bright side
To somewhere I dont know
Waited such a long time
But it's still the wrong time
I can't feel a thing
But I still want you more than ever
Can't feel
Cant't explain
How much i want, want you more than ever
So you're not feeling
This is the only
Road we can go down
How much is there left now?
How much is there left now?
Still want you more
Waited such a long time
But it's still the wrong time
I can't feel a thing
But I still want you more than ever
Know what I believe in
Everything I see in you
Is all I need
And I still want, want you more than ever
The lyrics of More Than Ever by Zoot Woman convey feelings of intense longing and desperation for a person who may not reciprocate those feelings in the same way. The opening lines, "Time is on our side / Without you I've got no / Love is on our side / Without you I've got no," suggests that time is passing by and their relationship is moving forward, but the singer feels incomplete without their love interest.
Throughout the song, the singer expresses their desire for this person "more than ever," despite the fact that it may not be the right time for them to be together. They acknowledge that they are waiting for the right opportunity but cannot shake off their longing, "Waited such a long time / But it's still the wrong time / I can't feel a thing / But I still want you more than ever." The singer is willing to walk down an unfamiliar path or take a risk to be with this person, "Know there's a way to / The side that you don't show / Walking the bright side / To somewhere I don't know."
The repetition of the phrase "Still want you more" emphasizes the intensity of their emotion and the fact that they cannot let go of their yearning for this person. The song ends with a sense of uncertainty, with the lines, "So you're not feeling / This is the only / Road we can go down / How much is there left now?" The singer is unsure of what the future holds for their relationship and how much they are willing to invest in it, but their longing for the person remains unchanged.

This is the only path we can take
How much is there left now?
How much time do we have left?
Still want you more
My desire for you hasn't decreased
