ZULU WINTER DEBUT ALBUM – ‘LANGUAGE’
Zulu Winter are set to release their eagerly awaited debut album on Play It Again Sam Recordings on the 14th of May 2012.
‘Language’, released on CD, vinyl and available to download, was produced by Tom Morris at 4AD’s studio in Wandsworth and Miloco Pool Studio, South London and mixed by Claudius Mittendorfer (Interpol, The Vaccines, Glasvegas) in New York.
The album features eleven tracks including the forthcoming single ‘Silver Tongue’, the band’s Pitchfork endorsed limited edition, sold out double A side release ‘Let’s Move Back To Front’ / ‘Never Leave’ and the recent ‘We Should Be Swimming’ with over 150,000 plays on you tube and the “Hottest Record in the World” accolade from Radio 1’s Zane Lowe.

Formed last year, the Zulu Winter line up of Will Daunt (vocals & guitar), Iain Lock (bass), Dom Millard (keyboards), Henry Walton (guitar) and Guy Henderson (drums) have only played a handful of UK shows, but have already been tipped by NME, The Fly and Q Magazine, picked up support from International music blog Altered Zones and have had widespread radio play from the likes of Steve Lamacq, Huw Stephens and XFM. They will play at this year’s South By South West in Austin TX, USA where the band has recently inked a deal with the Arts & Crafts label, home to Feist, Broken Social Scene & Phoenix amongst others. They then head to New York for their debut shows in the city with Bon Iver side project Polica at Mercury Lounge and at Brooklyn’s Glasslands with XL’s new signing Willis Earl Beal, before heading to Australia for dates in Melbourne and Sydney.
The London five piece will return to the UK for their first major headline shows in May together with dates as special guests of Keane and appearing at the Field Day and Isle of Wight Festivals in June. More festival dates will be announced in the very near future.
