Zelah

Alt/Dream-pop duo ZELAH has returned with her new single ‘Static’ simmers and burns with someone you share an inexplicable connection with someone you love.

The track is direct and passionate built upon atmospheric sustained keys, dreamy guitars, minimalist electronic beats, pretty synth melodies and magnetic lead vocals.

Speaking about the writing of the track, singer Zelah Van-Gowler speaks of the magic behind love connections.

She said: “It’s like that unspoken magnetism towards a person that just completely captivates you for a certain time, and you can’t quite pinpoint what it is about them.

“You’re left wondering if they felt that same thing or maybe it’s all in your own head (and sometimes it is), but there’s just something extremely magical about it.”

The London duo’s atmospherics are dark and raw alongside the piano ballads softly playing behind Zelah’s soulful vocals.

Further illuminating on the creative process behind ‘Static’, Zelah added: “My mindset when I sat down to write ‘Static’ was that I just wanted to convey the message in the simplest of ways.

“There’s no uncertainty or unnecessary complexity, which sometimes I think we grasp on to as writers, arguably believing it’s the only way to validate our work being good.

“I love keeping things more interpretive in the lyrics of certain songs we’ve written, however I had such a clear feeling that I could only write it down that way.”

There’s very little in the way of frills when it comes to ZELAH’s music, something that you’ll come to discover with each new song in the run up to their debut EP. The duo have been working hard with producer Jake Murray at Strongroom Studios which is due for release on May 1st, 2020.

Following a support show for Ásgeir at Shepherds Bush Empire on February 12th, ZELAH will play their headline EP launch show on April 30th, 2020 at London’s Servant Jazz Quarters.
