Bang bang

A 1 track beats & breaks single (5m 32s) — released January 17th 2025 on SFX


In a whiplash rush of full-throttle club modernism and alt-pop immediacy, Zoë Mc Pherson returns to SFX with their fourth album, Upside Down. In a wholly necessary quest for hope and love in ominous times, they deliver their most direct project to date. Barrelling into sobering realities with their heart wide open, Mc Pherson leans into vulnerability on every turn and uses rave physicality as their centre of gravity.

Across their previous records, Mc Pherson has moved through distinct phases of drum-focused, angular soundsystem experimentation. Don't be mistaken—their innate experimental streak and artful sound design is still the common thread running throughout the album as they warp and contort vibrant club music tropes to their own mutant ends, but there's an intentional shift towards universality as a tonic for the times we live in.

Lead single 'Bang Bang' spells this idea out, juxtaposing bruising kick drum flair with pearlescent pads positively radiating soothing frequencies. It's uplifting and absolutely built for a club setting, but it smartly swerves saccharine idealism for a more grounded sort of ruff euphoria.
