Yoko-Zuna Announce Debut Album,Release First Single
Rising from the Auckland underground, eclectic four-piece Yoko-Zuna have come together with some of New Zealand’s most notorious on their debut album This Place Here, set for release on 17 July.
The genre-explorative album is split into three parts - soul, electronic and hip-hop; with the band’s musical melding taking you on a journey through sub electronic frequencies, melodic moments and immense bass-synth-fuelled drops.
Lead single ‘Revival’ feat. Team Dynamite drops today, with the video – an epic cartoon battle between the two different outfits – online now.
The track itself opens up with Tony Tz’s signature spitfire rap, with the verses speaking about clocking life’s levels and one-upping your previous self, then glued together by a pitch bended bass line, jungle drums and Hans Zimmer-inspired horns.
Bringing together the who’s-who and who’s-next of NZ talent, other features on the up-coming album include David Dallas, Melodownz, Bailey Wiley, Rodney Fisher andSpycc.
The high caliber of features reflects Yoko-Zuna’s own rising status as one of the most interesting up-comers to surface from the Auckland scene.
‘Revival’ feat. Team Dynamite is available for purchase from iTunes now, with Yoko-Zuna’s debut album to be released on Friday 17 July.
