Swiss musical innovators Zeal & Ardor are back with their highly anticipated self-titled album, releasing on February 11, 2022, through MVKA. This 14-track collection channels raw emotion and artistic depth, recorded by Marc Obrist and Manuel Gagneux, while mixed and mastered by Will Putney at Graphic Nature Audio.
Frontman Manuel Gagneux, known for his multilingual prowess, weaves German and English lyrics throughout, creating a unique auditory experience. He shares, “With this record, we’ve reached the sound I envisioned for this project. It’s our longest endeavor on a single album, and the effort is evident. We aim to transport listeners into our world, and while this may not be what you expect, it delivers on that promise. We’ve refined our sound and found our home within it. Home is burning. Welcome home.”
