The debut album from this London five piece manages to straddle between artistic indie and big, engrossing choruses. Some have described it as Coldplay-ish, but that’s always said with the tone that somehow Coldplay sell out arena’s by being shit. Which doesn’t really add up.

Language does sometimes sound a bit same-y, but for a debut, Zulu Winter have proved they have capacity to move from Efterklang-esque epic moments such as in ‘Moments Drift’ to the upbeat and jaunty ‘Silver Tongue’.

An album that manages to move you through multiple feelings at once, and all of them positive. There may be a few artists around sounding similar to this, but Zulu Winter have given them all a hard fight to go up against this.
