Zilched - Earthly Delights [LP] Vinyl Record

Zilched is returning with her sophomore LP, 'Earthly Delights,' a love letter to life and all it's innermost complexities. The record, for which she recruited indie-rock auteur Ian Ruhala (HALA) and producer-programmer Ben Collins (Minihorse), is a testament to the maturation of Drallos' uncompromising creative vision in the years following her last release. Rounding out her Gothic Pop slanted Alt-Rock with elements of Grunge, 'Earthly Delights' is a dazzling display of poetic lyricism as Zilched weaves an intricate tapestry of romantic imagery, metaphor, and religious allegory that softens the blow of her sometimes brutal honesty. Introducing the the record with a series of genre-spanning singles, listeners will be treated to a jangly twelve-string riff à la Cleaners From Venus and The Cure on 'The Flood', a powerful, shimmering noise-pop ballad fit for fans of Wolf Alice on 'Loveless' and a Joy Division-esque synth-ridden reclamation of the sacred with the anthemic title track 'Earthly Delights' before it's official release in August 2023. Poised between the lure of destruction and the promise of catharsis, the album explores the purgatorial nature of bargaining with an indecisive lover and with oneself.
