Zoetic is The Rocket Summer most ground-breaking album, marking an unmistakably fresh and forward-thinking new musical direction. His first single "Same Air" premiered last Fall on Diffuser.fm who wrote that it "simultaneously evokes Foster The People and Justin Timberlake". The video to the "upbeat, guitar-driven song" co-starred New Girl star Hannah Simone ("Cece") and was premiered by Idolator. Their second single "Help Me Out" premiered last week on Alternative Press, who pointed out his "different sound taps into a realm of honesty and inspiration that, according to Avary, has no rules or boundaries and is unlike any other record he has ever created." Infectious Magazine proclaims, "Avary unleashes three year's worth of stored energy by blending menacing subject matter with slick guitar grooves" while the print edition of Alternative Press gives the album 4.5 stars (out of 5), saying "Zoetic is not an average, everyday 'love' album; it's a 'life' album that evokes a sense of urgency not only to live but to live inspired."

Zoetic will be released on February 26, 2016 via Aviate Records.
