Watch: Gold Zebra “Apart Again” (exclusive)

17 Mar 2014 — Henning Lahmann

Montréal noirish synth pop duo Gold Zebra have taken some more time than expected to finish their debut album, but now word is out that the anticipated full-length is finally scheduled to be released on April 22. Listening to "Apart Again", the first sign of life after last year's teaser single "Invisible Disorder", it becomes obvious why the LP took so long to get done. The song sounds very mature and elaborate, embracing just the right amount of Chromatics-esque retroism while convincingly focusing not on style and era but on those things that matter for a good pop song: arrangement and melody.

Aside from the tune itself, the accompanying video, directed by La Barbe Rousse and premiered below, is further proof for Gold Zebra's compelling professionalism that does not content itself with less than a truly strong result.

The self-titled LP will be out on Visage Musique. Pre-order now over here.
