Zulu Winter
O ne of our favourite recent discoveries we really think 2012 could be their year. Their debut single ‘Let’s Move Back To Front/Never Leave’ out on Double Denim Records is a pretty big mission statement. Check out this exclusive interview they gave to Field Day recently:
Hello, Zulu Winter – please tell us a bit about you for the uninitiated?
We’re five dudes making interesting pop music in London. Been doing a while and will be doing it a while longer. Our blog is a good place to find out what we’re all about, what we like etc.
You have a debut record out next April, what’s it sounding like?
Good hopefully! We hope it’s full of pop gems with beautiful melodies, atmospheres, textures and grooves… We’re working hard to make a record that sounds great on first listen but can also grow in stature with repeated listens. There’s a lot going on in the songs that you may not hear on the first listen but that you can dig into on repeated listens.
Have you been to Field Day before?
We sure have. You can always count on Field Day for an eclectic line up. A great day for sure as long as you can handle a ridiculous amount of wayfarers and scarily tight denim shorts… These will be found on both the boys and girls!
Everybody is talking records of the year and tips for next year – what are yours?
I’ve been grooving to Salve Ambient by War On Drugs, Days by real Estate, Atlas Sound, Tuneyards and St. Vincent…
Apart from that I don’t feel it’s been the greatest year for music I don’t reckon but have a feeling next year will be much better! Us aside… I’m looking forward to Outfit’s record and Braids new record. Hopefully they’ll both see the light of day next year.
Finally, we love your blog. You seem like well-read chaps. What other sites are in the bookmarks for you guys?
Thanks!
