"After a successful European tour, playing to some of the largest audiences of their existence, Zerodent returned home to Perth to contend with the comedown familiar to many Oz bands as the glow of a conquering Continental tour fades. Unfortunately, there was no way to know at the time that within a few months even small hometown support slots paid in beer tickets would soon be off the table. As the world plunged into a pandemic, life in the one of the world’s most isolated capital cities became even more isolated. And with the band suddenly unable to be in the same room together for months on end, let alone play shows. Slowly restrictions eased and the band were able to pick up where they left off. New ideas from each member that had been worked on at home were quickly hammered into shape.

10 new songs were created, rehearsed and perfected, capturing basic tracks while also encouraging the band to add detail and experiment. The new approach paid off – Human Races is the most varied and assured recording the band has released to date. And while the familiar short, Wire-like blasts remain, they are now bolstered by a stronger melodic edge. Clinton Bell’s bass has increasingly become a lead instrument to the driving guitarwork of Predrag ‘Pex’ Delibasic.  ‘Better Believe Me’ twists around a snake-like ‘Three imaginary Boys’ - era Cure bassline, while ‘Perfect Thriller’s lilting, push-pull verses and declamatory choruses recall Prehistoric Sounds-era Saints."
