Zomby - Natalia's Song

The foulest stench is in the air, the funk of forty thousand years....

In music these days it seems that your style and sense of fashion are sometimes more important than your actual output but there are still some producers out there that let their music do the talking, one of these producers is Zomby.

A very secretive and mysterious character Zomby has become one of the UK’s finest underground producers. Without the use of clever marketing and media buzz Zomby has gripped the world’s electronic music lovers with intrigue and talent alone. After releasing his debut rave inspired LP Where were you in 92 and several singles and EP’s such as One Foot Ahead Of The Other and the beautiful Digital Flora Zomby has finally announced the release of his latest album Dedication on 4AD Recordings. Not only has Zomby gripped the general public with his eerie productions but it also seems that his peers have taken notice of his forward thinking style with Zomby remixing the likes of Martyn and Animal Collective to name but a few.

Dedication is to be released on the 11th July 2011 but until then Zomby has offered up an incredible single in the form of Natalia’s Song which was first featured back in 2010 in a guest mix from Kode 9 and Burial for Mary Anne Hobbs’ final Radio 1 show.

Natalia’s Song is the first single to be lifted from Dedication which Zomby himself describes as ‘a dedication to someone much loved and missed’. Obviously you can tell that Zomby must have lost someone dear to him recently and just listening to 'Natalia’s Song' you can hear his sadness. Drenched in melancholy and grief the track is muffled with white noise and ambience which is wrapped around the rising chords, with the sampled female vocal only adding to the sorrow.

Natalia’s Song is available now via 4AD on a strictly limited one sided 10”.
