ZELA - 'High Wasted Genes'
ZELA explores youthful freedom in latest hyper-pop single ‘High Wasted Genes’.
The track is about taking risk and the impulsiveness that comes with being human. A punk-party anthem to the core that was born out of social restrictions. Telling you to live in the moment and surrounding yourself with those who set your soul on fire.
Pulsating 808s and vocal samples tear us into the track, before drummer Max Griff pilots the chaos with a driving display of live & electronic rhythm; a perfect example of the hybrid style the pair are becoming known for. With lyrics inspired by human connection, wild nights with friends, festival debauchery and relishing in the beauty of the comedown together; there’s also a deeper undertone to the track which explores themes of progressive politics in recent times, and embracing who you truly are to your core, flaws and all.
‘High Wasted Genes’ will be accompanied by stunning visual content in the form of the duo’s debut music video, directed and filmed by Ollie Rillands. Shot on location in Newcastle, the video sees the pair night-rioting throughout a disused hotel, an empty nightclub and a windswept Northern beach, in true high-energy ZELA fashion.
