Listen to Za!’s single ‘Badulake’ off upcoming album Loloismo

Za! - Loloismo

ZA!, the Spanish duo of multi-instrumentalists Spazzfrica Ehd and Papa duPau, have a new album on the way called Loloismo. It follows their 2013’s Wanananai and arrives on January 29th via Sheffield DIY collective The Audacious Art Experiment and Hot Salvation Records.

The pair are known for experimenting and crossing boundaries between many genres. On Loloismo, ZA! take on new ways of playing and even more styles, explains the press release. “Industrial meets dubstep, hip hop, clicks n’cuts electronic music, math-rock – from the old-shool hardcore clichés to Asian, Arabic or invented landscapes”. As ZA! put it, it’s “Loloizable experimental music with a chorus”, with ‘Loloiza’ referring to the Spanish phrase for the chants heard echoing out of football pitches, and its emphasis on the collective act of singing, rather than the lyrics. The pair’s lyrics “had never evolved beyond a concept or a single word” until Loloismo.

ZA! had previously shared the album’s phenomenal lead track ‘Badulake’. If you haven’t heard it, you’re missing out.
