Celebrate Z-Days With The Zolas & Their New Single “Energy Czar”
Vancouver indie pop rock trio The Zolas have been pretty quiet since their 2016 album Swooner, but now with summer just a step away, the group wants to make the most of the changed world with “Z-Days”.
On the “Znd” day of each month, The Zolas will be dropping a new track and its lyric video. Kicking off the month of June, they have shared the climate-conscious tune “Energy Czar”.
Vocalist Zach Gray says, “The name Energy Czar came before the song itself. I knew I wanted to write something about our delusions of domination over nature. How with climate change the planet is starting to remind us that we’re not in charge here and never were.”
The Zolas bring out their familiar indie pop swing and West Coast drawl on “Energy Czar”, taking the cynical, apocalyptic lyrics like “She’s gonna break us / Like a dirty habit / Can you blame her?” and turning them into a sunshine summer tune.
Enjoy the lyric/music video below, inspired by Chinese filmmaker Wong Kar-Wai:
