London four-piece Zola Blood are streaming their debut EP Meridian on the Descrier in advance of its release on 20 October on Pond Life Songs.
The band spent more than a year in a windowless studio in Hackey Wick to produce an EP that serves as an introduction to their soulful and delicate sound.
Describing the title track of the EP, the band commented:
“Meridian was the first song we wrote as Zola Blood. I’d had the lyrics for a while and we wrote most of the song on acoustic guitars, which is quite rare for us. We’d just moved into our studio and bought a Prophet 08 so had all these new sounds to play with. We changed the chords at the end at the very last minute and it lifted the song into a different place. It’s a bit more optimistic than the other songs. It’s about moving to London.”
