Line 24:
Faced with a lack of venues in which to showcase their music, Zoé relied upon self-organized concerts, the Internet and a self-published demo. All of these efforts, plus a good deal of positive word of mouth, helped them gain popularity in [[Spanish language|Spanish-language]] [[radio station]]s in the [[United States]]. They signed their first recording contract in 1998, but nothing came of it. They independently released an album in 2000 that attracted the attention of [[Sony Music]], who took over its distribution. Popular songs from this recording included "Asteroide" and "Miel". Following the success of this album, some of their songs were included in the [[soundtrack]]s of movies like ''[[Amar Te Duele]]'', ''[[Ladies Night (film)|Ladies Night]]'' and ''[[The Dreamer (2000 film)|The Dreamer]]''.
In November 2003, Zoé released a second album, produced by [[Phil Vinall]], who had previously worked with bands like [[Placebo (band)|Placebo]] and [[Elastica]]. This new album was titled ''[[Rocanlover]]'', and the main singles were "Peace and Love", "Love" and "Veneno". Although their musical style was becoming more clearly defined, the band had still not found an identity. In 2017, looking back at this period, Larreguí characterized this as a time of experimentation and trying different things; for example the band had not decided if they wanted to record more songs in English.<ref>{{cite web |title=Vuelve la música botánica de Zoé |url=https://www.esquire.com/es/actualidad/musica/a11641993/vuelve-la-musica-botanica-de-zoe/ |website=Esquire |date=August 2017 |access-date=17 September 2019}}</ref>

The first six months of 2006 were quite active for Zoé. They kept playing strategic shows like the [[Vive Latino]] Festival and devoted themselves to the production of their third studio album. In January, the band went to Manzanillo to start preproduction with the British producer Phil Vinall. In February, there were shows and more preproduction in Mexico City, and March was used for basic tracking at [[Sonic Ranch]] Studios in [[Tornillo, Texas]]. In April, post-production and more shows; the songs were mixed in May. The album was finished by early June.

On 1 September 2006, Zoé performed in Mexico's [[National Auditorium]], a sold-out show in one of the most important stages for music in Mexico. Later, at the [[Palacio de los Deportes]], they performed with [[Nick McCarthy]], the guitarist (and sometimes vocalist) from the [[Scotland|Scottish]] band [[Franz Ferdinand (band)|Franz Ferdinand]]. In November 2006, they toured with [[Gustavo Cerati]] and [[Los Tres]] in Mexico and the United States.
