Track Description:

Inspired by the Gothic poetry of Edgar Allan Poe and Surrealist literature of Arthur Rimbaud, ‘The Flood’ is a lyrical reflection on self-haunting and misplaced blame. Set against an 80s-inspired Jangle Pop riff à la Cleaners From Venus and The Cure, Drallos' melodic approach to songwriting expertly mediates the tortured aspects of human experience with the utmost tenderness.

“I wrote most of the song at Elmwood Cemetery in Detroit around the time it had been flooding in the city,” Drallos reveals. “Everything felt biblical and significant during that time, which informed the tone of nearly every song on the record.”

Accompanied by a video directed by New York-based filmmaker Alex Ross Perry (Her Smell, Pavement: Harness Your Hopes), this single offers fans a first glimpse into the poetic lyricism and creative vision that Zilched exercises on ‘Earthly Delights’. Listeners can expect to be treated to a series of genre-spanning singles that showcase Drallos’ musical range before the album’s official release in August 2023.
