Zachary Backdrop emerges with the remarkable Jewellery - a debut song which demonstrates a confident command of pop songwriting and a talented ear for detail. The song weaves a tapestry of both homespun hardware and modern production techniques creating an eerily ageless-sounding pop. Processed drums accent hook-filled synth collages while the vocals ring raw and tuneful. The song is mixed by Dave Benton (of Subpop’s Lvl Up and Trace Mountains) and mastered by Nick Bolton (of Bolton Sound fka Holy Tapes).

Jewellery speaks to feeling profoundly out of place. It is a portrayal of someone losing parts of themself while putting new ones on “like jewellery”. However in the midst of chaos, like an anchor, throughout Jewellery there is the thread of human connection: running your mouth off outside the Keyfoods to a friend, walking down the river with a friend’s child. Nevertheless, like all the songs on the forthcoming EP,  Jewellery is not weighed down by these themes - buoyed instead by ear-worm melodies and synthesised colour.

Jewellery is out on all platforms on October 21st.
