Another Nordic alert from yours trully! Zebra & Snake are from a small town in rural Finland and already quite big in their homeland. I have known od them for quite a while and seen one of their extraordinary live performances.
I am happy to present their latest single ‘Empty Love Song‘ appearing on their first album ‘Healing Music‘ which will be expected in Spring 2012. You can tell their music embodies the cold, serene and rural atmosphere of Finland; perfectly echoing the sound of their home land “ a beautiful open landscape spotted with silent darkness” .
Zebra & Snake are quite difficult to categorise in terms of a specific genre, but they do tend to go towards something that would be along the lines of synth-heavy gothic pop with a voice that slightly resembles Interpol‘s Paul Banks.
I particularly enjoyed this new track as it represents the bands aesthetic perfectly: pure and uncluttered, dramatic and strange, and mostly, innovative. I do think that their music is unique and does not resemble that of anyone else at the moment.
I could not describe this song better than the already uttered “’Empty Love Song‘ is a huge, heartfelt call out to a lost love, building from whispering octaves to an epic conclusion”.
