Zulu Winter announced their end on June 5th of this year and in late July gave us an album Stutter with previously unreleased tracks as a parting gift. It's truly sad for music lovers that a band like this calls it quits so early in the game. I really hope we see more from them as separate entities in the near future.
There's so much talent and potential in Zulu Winter. It's really a sad event as a music fan and a huge supporter of this band. I've literally been telling anyone I can about their album Language over the last 2 years. I think I might have annoyed some friends by constantly dropping that album title. I do what I can do expose people to good music.
Language is a breakthrough album with little flaws. It's easily one of my favorite full albums to be released in the last decade. Yes, it's that good. Some of my friends want to compare them to the original Police albums. I could hear a little similarity there especially with Stings voice but I definitely think these guys had their own sound. Just check out "Silver Tongue" and you can't help but get sucked in.
Stutter technically is their last album to be released after their break and it's just another reminder of what we will be missing in the future. "Heavy Rain" was the song picked out to be the single off the album and it's a wise choice. The song has a brooding and somber backbone with a dream like quality. If you don't own any Zulu Winter, pick up Language first but then after you're hooked buy this album.
We will miss you Zulu Winter. I'm really disappointed I never caught the band live. Hope to see you all create amazing music in the near future. Thanks for such a fantastic album in Language. It's in my top 100 favorite albums of all time. Yeah, I like it that much.
