“I decided to just let myself go,” Zzzahara says of their new record, Spiral Your Way Out. “I think I finally came to this acceptance that I don’t have to be perfect. I want to be a good role model to my fans and stuff like that, but I also don’t want to hide who I am.”

Zzzahara’s music wades into the deep waters of love, lust, and self-discovery in a part of the world where artifice and authenticity co-exist. Emerging from the heart of LA’s alternative music scene, their sound is raw in feeling and rebellious by nature. Their 2022 debut album, Liminal Spaces, chronicles a coming-of-age in Highland Park, following painful childhood memories through to late-night, live-fast coping mechanisms, and the changes the neighbourhood has endured over the same period of time. Their 2023 follow-up, Tender, marked a period of slowing down, looking inward, and embracing a softer side of being.

To be released through Lex Records in early 2025, Spiral Your Way Out sees Zzzahara evolve again. Emotionally, its foundations are built on scorched earth. The album finds Zzzahara in the aftermath of a relationship spent trying to fit someone else’s mould, being jerked around by indecision, and then hitting “emotional rock bottom.” Made in a three month burst that let all their pent-up frustrations loose, Spiral Your Way Out is in part a work of self-reclamation, swapping Tender’s meditative state for something fiery and more assertive. “I was going through such a tough time, but I felt like I didn’t have anyone to reach out to,” Zzzahara says of the period leading up to the album, which was a chaotic blur spent mostly on tour or in isolation. “When I finally sat down in the studio I just had all this fucking anger – towards that person for treating me badly, but mostly towards myself for not walking away. I think in that situation I just kind of let things be, and I was mad at myself for letting myself isolate for so long and never putting my foot down. In the end, I just took it all out on the record.”

With a broad church of influences, zzzahara’s vocal style and knack for earworm melodies act as a throughline without tying the album to a specific genre. One distinct thread through Spiral Your Way Out is Zzzahara’s unabashed embrace of their formative emo and punk influences for the first time, revisiting artists like Bright Eyes and Broken Social Scene while going through a newly minted Elliott Smith era. The reeling riffs and heartsick lyrics of “In Your Head” evoke early Title Fight, while stripped-back moments like “Ghosts” and “Wish That You Would Notice” take a page out of the Scene Aesthetic and Dashboard Confessional playbooks. The vocals take the lead, allowing the most painful emotions to stick out like exposed nails.
