New Music from Zella Day

Intimate yet expansive, Zella Day’s new album Kicker is rich with Western and psychedelic imagery from the remote Northern Arizona mountain town where the musician was raised. These elements blend with electronics and lush, hard-hitting cinematic orchestrations to create a magic of Day’s own invention that is reminiscent of Stevie Nicks’ mysticism and Lana Del Rey’s art-damaged darkness.

Kicker follows last year’s Zella Day EP, which was released by LA tastemakers B3SCI and exploded virally on the strength of “Compass,” “Sweet Ophelia,” and “East of Eden” – tracks that topped the charts on Hype Machine while being streamed millions of times on Spotify. Featuring string arrangements recorded at the legendary Capitol Studios, the LP boasts a richness of texture with an emotional intricacy that makes each song instantly captivating.

The digital download of the album includes an FCC Clean radio edit of the new single “High.” 

“Day’s tracks… show off her knack for written nostalgia and dreamy vocals that echo California vibes.”
Noisey

“Zella Day’s gorgeous and ethereal — yet powerful — vocals are matched equally by her impressive songwriting. She gracefully weaves sturdy hooks into her dreamy, lilting melodies.”
The Wild Honey Pie
