Bang Red Vinyl + Tote + Signed Print

Having already built an unparalleled reputation as both a solo songwriter and performer, as well as a touring vocalist with The Pogues, Glasgows Iona Zajac will release her highly anticipated debut album Bang, on 21st November.Zajacs strength as an artist lies in her ability to balance light and dark with startling ease. While songs like Bowls, Dilute and Anton anchor the record in raw explorations of violence and intimacy, elsewhere she lets surrealism and humour take centre stage. The dreamlike Chicken Supermarket imagines hallucinatory encounters with Billy Connolly and seas of jelly, while the exuberant title track revels in sexual liberation with infectious, popfuelled guitar tones. This tonal dexterity at once bruising and playful places Zajac alongside kindred spirits such as PJ Harvey and Angel Olsen, artists unafraid to marry the intimate with the explosive.Her commanding voice, honed on stages across the UK and Europe, has seen her tour with Mercury Rev, Arab Strap, Lankum, and Cassandra Jenkins, as well as joining Alison Moyet on her soldout 2025 tour. Last year, she was invited to perform with The Pogues at their landmark reunion in Dublin, later touring with the band through packed shows at Brixton Academy, Manchester Apollo, and Glasgows Barrowlands. With her own headline shows on the horizon, Zajacs reputation as one of the UKs most vital new voices is only growing stronger.Bang was recorded at Post Electric Studio in Edinburgh with producer Dani BennettSpragg, alongside Joe Taylor drums, Ellie Mason guitar, synths, and Ben Manning bass. Drawing on influences from Sibylle Baier and Portishead to her Polish and Ukrainian heritage, Zajac weaves together intimate acoustic moments and fullband dynamism with an intensity that reflects her arresting live performances.FFO PJ Harvey, Patti Smith, Aldous Harding, Lankum1.
