Their songs are mostly about death and drugs and Jesus.

So I tried to think about zippers again, but guess what: I'm really just mostly listening to Spacemen 3. Maybe their music can be thought of as a zipper: two guitars, together, that don't get unzipped. And a lot of the songs have long zippers in that context.

Other than that, I can't think of other commonalities between the zipper and Spacemen 3, other than that a lot of their guitars make 'zipppp' sounds on occasion.

One of the guitarists played a Vox Soundstream guitar, which had a lot of built-in effects. Here is a Vox guitar with the same sounds, with samples of the various tones and effects.

Anyway, zippers. Zippers imply a sexuality, and Spacemen though don't make songs about sex. Their songs are mostly about death and drugs and Jesus. Usually if a woman is involved in the lyrics it's because she likes drugs, too.
