Earlier this summer, “Romance” arrived and marked their fourth album and their first with new label XL Recordings. In a glowing five-star review of the James Ford-produced record, ZikNation shared, “‘Romance’ offers moments of wonder and gravity while also being disturbing at times. »
For the production of the album, the group declared ZikNation they wanted to move away from the more rock sound of their first album, “Dogrel”.
“Being creatively understood by too many people is like flies settling on your clothes and on your face. Every now and then you have to let go of it, just to see who you are again. “That’s what we wanted to do,” he said.
The band were recently hailed by Elton John as “the best band around”, and earlier this week announced new tour dates in Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
