Zzzahara 'Spiral Your Way Out' LP

Black and yellow splatter vinyl.

"I felt like I knew what I had to say when I started writing lyrics. I really held my problems in at the time so sitting there making music with Jorge felt like the escape I needed. We pulled that track together in just under four hours. It was magical. For the first time it felt like I met someone who worked as fast as I did." ZZZAHARA

Made in a three-month burst that let all their pent-up frustrations loose, Spiral Your Way Out is in part a work of self-reclamation, swapping Tender’s meditative state for something fiery and more assertive. “I was going through such a tough time, but I felt like I didn't have anyone to reach out to,” zzzahara says of the period leading up to the album, which was a chaotic blur spent mostly on tour or in isolation. “When I finally sat down in the studio, I just had all this fucking anger – towards that person for treating me badly, but mostly towards myself for not walking away. I think in that situation I just kind of let things be, and I was mad at myself for letting myself isolate for so long and never putting my foot down. In the end, I just took it all out on the record.”
