New Music from the Inbox: The Zolas, Duckwrth, Aluna, and more!
Artist: The Zolas
Song: Ultramarine
Album: Come Back To Life
The Zolas monthly singles have brought us some of the best music of 2020 and Ultramarine is definitely no exception. Zach Gray delivers some of his most poignant and punchy lyrics in this song about “getting flip phones and walking away from this slot machine universe that tells us we’re nothing and kills all mystery.” The layered vocals and whimsical synths in the chorus make the Ultramarine feel like a fantasy, while the gritty guitars and assertive drums kick you back into reality. Keep an eye out for more music from The Zolas, with their new album Come Back To Life expected later this year!
