Zoe's first full length album was released Sept '09. Artichoke Perfume was a collaboration with producer/songwriter Cesar Alvarez(Brooklyn, NY) of The Lisps.
Album is available for purchase on CDBaby (physical and digital):
"I've never heard an album so compelling it feels like you're being made love to. It leaves you drunk and naked and blissful without knowing what's going to happen next."

READ:
Zoe Boekbinder was born sometime, someplace, and there are some interesting things to say about her. Zoe is a speakeasy lounge singer performing at Fraggle Rock. She is "geek-glam", music for people who wear sequins to the library.
In 2005, Zoe formed a band called Vermillion Lies with her sister, Kim Boekbinder. This twisted folk cabaret duo traveled the world charming audiences with their comedic songs. They headlined venues like The Great American Music Hall (SF) and Circo de Braga (Portugal) and played with bands like The Dresden Dolls and The Ditty Bops.
Being fiercely dedicated to music, Zoe began releasing her more personal material under her own name. In 2007, she released a seven song EP and toured the nation. Since then Zoe has been molding her style and is now ready to take over the world, with guitar and loop pedal in hand, one geek at a time.
BE IMPRESSED:
"When Zoe Boekbinder, on tour supporting her new album Artichoke Perfume, took to the stage the entire evening was transported to a whole new level as if by some sort of magical beanstalk. With songs that exhibited playful storytellings containing twists like the barbs of roses, one couldn't help but catch themselves leaning forward as if trying to catch a better glimpse of the stories unfolding in their mind."
- Jamaal Jackson, Seattle Underground Music Examiner
"Zoe sounds a little like Jolie Holland dancing on Billie Holiday's gramophone player in Tom Waits's New Orleans hotel room."
- Newt Lynn - Read It Here - Prescott AZ Weekly Paper
"If I hadn't had the chance to meet her in person I would have thought she was years older than she is. She sings with confidence, authority and a wisdom that seems informed by years of regret."
Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, give a musician money every month and she'll eat for a lifetime.
Adopt a band. My friends at SAFI and I are offering a new way to support independent music. There is so much to do and never enough time to do it. Much of my time is spent figuring out my expenses, as my income varies greatly month-to-month. With your help I can free up that time to create more music, book more tours, and release more albums. For varying monthly donation amounts I will offer different bonuses, including reports on how the contributions are being used. After one year of membership, each contributer will receive a special members only, SUPER EXCLUSIVE, t-shirt.
This is the best way for you to support independent music.

For $5 a month, Jellyfish will receive digital copies of all my recordings before they are released. They will also get one free concert admittance per year.
For $10 a month, Octopus will get everything above plus physical copies of all albums released and free admission to all shows (when there is room on the guest list they may also bring a guest).
For $20 a month, Narwhals will reveive digital copies of all recording before they are released, one of each: album released, t-shirt design, and tour poster. These members will also get free admission to all shows with the possibility of bringing guests.
