Zulu Debut "We're More Than This"

Los Angeles hardcore band ZULU will release their debut album A New Tomorrow on March 3rd courtesy of Flatspot Records. New single “We’re More Than This” trades in the heavy hardcore sound the band is known for, for a jazz-infused hip-hop. The video was created by vocalist Anaiah Lei alongside videographer Tyler Bradberry and primarily features guitarist Dez Yusuf on vocals.

Yusuf comments on the track, “When we first started writing for the record Anaiah and I had bounced the idea of maybe doing some jazz or R&B songs and putting some raps on the record. I know Satchel and Anaiah had jammed out some different ideas that I hadn't really been present for. We were actually ending our tour with Sasami when I first heard the music for ‘We're More Than This’. We were in the van at a rest stop and Anaiah played it off a video of him and Satchel jamming. It just hit me all in an instant. 

I didn’t think much beyond the lyrics of ‘must I only share my pain,’ which is a running theme throughout the album. But it’s ironic because I go forward with sharing glimpses of pain and trauma, but that’s really the setup to show the things I’ve (we've) become in spite of that pain. This is really a song of resilience and encouragement. Saying that we can still be more than the tropes that are Put on us. That we are more than commodified versions of our trauma.”

A New Tomorrow is available for pre-order now through Flatspot Records.
