Zeal and Ardor Shares New Single “Bow” – New Album Due in 2022

Posted on by

Genre-bending band Zeal & Ardor has announced they will release a new album, a self-titled release, due out on February 11th, 2022, via MVKA. The 14-track album was recorded by Marc Obrist and frontman Manuel Gagneux at Hutch Sounds and mixed & mastered by Will Putney at Graphic Nature Audio. Listen to the first single “Bow” and pre-order the album now.

Gagneux declares, “With the self-titled record, we have arrived at where I imagined this project should sound like. It’s the longest we’ve worked on a single record and I believe it shows. The most important thing for an album of ours to do, is transport you instantly into our mood, our world. Even though this might not be the one you might expect from us, this record certainly delivers on that front. We had time to hone in to what we think makes us interesting and what sounds we would like to explore through this we have found our home.

 

Home is burning.

Welcome home.”

 

“‘Bow’ takes out established musical themes and places them into a completely different background,” opines Gagneux. “It’s an amalgam of things bestowing bad luck demanding you to join it.”

 

Earlier this summer, the avant-garde extremists shared the unsettling, sinister single/video ‘Run’ and attention-demanding song, ‘Erase’. Both tracks are also included on the new album, and will be instant grats, along with ‘Bow’ and further pre-release singles, when fans pre-order.
