Cubzoa, the solo project of Penelope Isles‘ Jack Wolter, has announced his debut album. Unfold in the Sky is set for release on October 24 via Bella Union. It’s led by the sunny new single ‘Choke’, whose second verse is sung by Nanna Schannong of Lowly. A press release cites Tame Impala and Rival Consoles as reference points, but Youth Lagoon’s beautifully tender dream-pop also comes to mind. Take a listen below.
“Choke is about painting a picture in your own head, pretending that things are okay when they’re not,” Wolter explained in a press release. “The chorus lyrics brush the truth under the rug, whilst the verses pull it back, revealing the reality of unhealthy relationships with both substances and people. Often, with prior songs, I’ve tended to hide behind blurry lyrics, as a way to mask true feelings both from myself and audiences. But in this chapter I strove for honesty. I found the whole process therapeutic and consequently, probably for the first time ever, allowed myself to reflect this in my writing.”
