Watch: San Zhi – Leaving San Zhi [Best Fit Premiere]

28 March 2013, 11:30 | Written by Dan Carson

Egypt x Bournemouth experimental pop duo San Zhi are back with a new demo and accompanying visuals simply entitled ‘Leaving San Zhi’.

Syncopated synth pads beat like swollen hearts in time with heaving guitars and a twinkle of chiming idiophone; Suraya’s pillowy vocals looming over the richly textured melody throughout. The tempestuous, overcranked video clip suitably reflects the foreboding composition.

‘Leaving San Zhi’ is a truly heavenly opus; floaty feeling pop executed with laserlike precision.

San Zhi play the following shows throughout May.

May
9 - Sixty Million Postcards, Bournemouth
11 – Oakford Social, Reading
17 – The Great Escape, Brighton
29 – Shacklewell Arms, London
