Zzzahara Announces Distant Land
Waking up this morning to new music from zzzahara might turn this hump day into a definitive gem, especially as it comes with a new album announcement for the LA-based artist. Their lead single from the LP features Winter, which you know is an immediate key to winning over the ATH team. The two trade vocal lines back and forth, all of it set to this light-hearted jangle that embraces the dreamier tones of pop; their voices are quite similar, but the subtle change furthers the sweetness of a song that is all about longing. Look for Distant Lands to drop on June 5th via Lex Records.
You missed our weekly roundup, didn’t you? Well, Last Week’s Jams returns, circling back on an organized playlist to remind you of all the fun we had rocking out the previous week. Touched on some Austin stuff with Gus Baldwin and Matador Sphere, making sure we rep the home base as often as possible. The big battle of the musical week came from The Laughing Chimes and Sharp Pins, both going head to head for some incredible indie vibes that will dominate the landscape this year…or so I hope. Didn’t hurt that we also got to hear more from Prism Shores and Pink Chameleons as they prep their new releases. Dig in below and don’t be afraid to tell me what you loved.
