Cubzoa announces debut solo album, Unfold In The Sky

Commenting on the track, which features Nanna Schannong from Cubzoa’s Bella Union labelmates Lowly, Jack Wolter says: “Choke is about painting a picture in your own head, pretending that things are okay when they’re not. 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.”

The album stuttered at first, as Jack Wolter struggled to set his sound apart from the Penelope Isles signature: sound: “It was only when I let my guard down that things really started to click,” he recalls. “Cubzoa being a side project, there was no pressure, and I had time to let the songs take different shapes before deciding on final versions. I’m very happy with where the album has landed.”

Having spent much of the past two years touring the world as CMAT’s guitarist, Cubzoa has announced a number of live dates of his own for later this year. Following a string of festivals, November will see Cubzoa play European shows with Billy Nomates before he closes the year with three headline UK shows in Falmouth, London, and Brighton.
