LIST PICK
ZELAH CLOSER
London-based duo ZELAH have released their latest in a line of vulnerable indie-pop tracks: ‘Closer’. Looping electronic sounds climb on top of each other on the bottom end of the texture, while a powerful voice churns out phrase after phrase of impressively catchy melodies above. They explain that “there's something really special and nostalgic about ‘Closer’ to both of us, so it means a lot to finally be able to put it out. It's full of conflicting emotions and is pretty reflective of modern dating culture and the level of uncertainty everyone feels with a new relationship and where it's going”. The dark, sizzling sounds and airy ambience is a mainstay of the ZELAH sound, which will be appearing in troves on their upcoming EP. - Dan Peeke
