Young Londoners Zibra are bursting into our lives today, shaking up the status quo with their electro dub-rock. It's loud, brash and weirdly addictive.
"Heartache" is their debut gambit, and they arrive fully-formed with aims and directions clearly in place. We're told that there are three things to know about Zibra:
"ZIBRA love obsolete equipment and building synthesisers from scratch.
ZIBRA are the sound of a VHS tape chewed up in an electrical system. They make their own music videos or rally in their friends at the camcorder-obsessed production team Youth Hymns.
Lead singer Sam Battle lives in a squat in Tottenham on the Broadwater Estate in London, which used to be a retirement home for the elderly."
Watch the virtual insanity below. It's like a cross between Clarence Clarity and Glass Animals, and it looks disturbingly gorgeous for what's essentially a tortured VHS.
