ZG
is the moniker of London based
Zansika Lachhani
and
Grant
(aka
Anthony Collins
, and the
Tony
in
Frank & Tony
). The concept was borne out of a connection online, as Grant and Zan connected on Soundcloud, both independently vibing off each other's music and approach to their art. In 2018, they began to work together, developing a number of tracks but eventually parking the project as other life commitments got in the way. Fast forward to 2021, while clearing out old hard drives, Grant rediscovered the recordings and was blown away by the music already put down. Together they began to rework and develop the project further, resulting in a blindingly beautiful seven track LP. Opener "Jungle Times" sets the scene, an atmospheric dreamy opening giving way to an idiosyncratic breakbeat and whispered vocals from Zan, setting the tone perfectly, floating the sound equally between London and New York styles. Following it up is the enigmatic "Roll of Thunder", drawing its power broken beat patterns, deep and soulful strings and washes reminiscent of
4Hero
in their prime. "When Young" also brings a jazz aesthetic to the fore, with upfront drums and Rhodes chords washing over in melodic bliss. "Ombre" starts with a thick bassline and urgent synth stabs before developing into a tripped-out groove, layered with thick synth lines and subtle harmonic touches. Similarly, "Aura" uses some of the same sound palette as well with touches of guitars and more sparking pads creating an uplifting yet melancholic journey. The first real vocal arrives with the penultimate track "Dog Days", dreamily layered over beautifully evolving synth washes and skittering beats. By the time "Drift Out" arrives to usher in the last act of this exceptional LP, you are on cloud. Includes download code.
