Zomby - Zomby's New Record, Nothing, Released Today
Zomby : Zomby's New Record, Nothing, Released Today
28th November 2011

Today marks the release of Zomby's new seven track record, entitled Nothing. Issued on limited edition white vinyl 12" and download, it follows the release of the producer's 4AD debut Dedication released earlier this year. The 12" also comes with a free download code.

Issued at the end of a busy year, like Dedication before it, it too shows just how far ahead of the rest of the pack Zomby really is. The trademark arpeggios and lilting melodies that have always characterized Zomby’s music are still present, but what is startling is the breadth of styles channeled in just twenty-two minutes.

Case in point is opener ‘Labyrinth’, an unabashed homage to early 90s hardcore. With perhaps one of the clearest vocals to feature on a Zomby record to date, it affronts with its directness. From there on, Nothing runs a gamut of sonic textures, drawing on jungle, rave, and grime in equal and unpredictable measure. Indeed, the immaculately titled closing track ‘Ecstasy Versions’ is a perfect condensing of Zomby’s muse, and an open door into his future. Wherever that might lead.
