Zzzahara

Zzzahara’s music wades into the deep waters of love, lust, and self discovery in a part of the world where artifice and authenticity co-exist. Emerging from the heart of LA’s alternative music scene, their sound is raw in feeling and rebellious by nature. Their 2022 debut album, Liminal Spaces, chronicles a coming of age in Highland Park, following painful childhood memories through to late night, live fast coping mechanisms, and the changes the neighbourhood has endured over the same period of time. Their 2023 follow up, Tender, marked a period of slowing down, looking inward, and embracing a softer side of being.

To be released through Lex Records in early 2025, ‘Spiral Your Way Out’ sees Zzzahara evolve again. Emotionally, its foundations are built on scorched earth. The album finds Zzzahara in the aftermath of a relationship spent trying to fit someone else’s mould, being jerked around by indecision, and then hitting “emotional rock bottom.” Made in a three month burst that let all their pent up frustrations loose, ‘Spiral Your Way Out’ is in part a work of self reclamation, swapping Tender’s meditative state for something fiery and more assertive.
