Zuli's New Track 'Follow You' Premieres on Brightest Young Things
By: Caryn Robbins Sep. 22, 2017
"follow you," the new single from emerging Long Island, NY based artist Zuli, premieres on Brightest Young Things. Of the track, Brightest Young Things declares, "With a voice reminiscent of an early-days Ben Folds, and jangly, open guitar riffs, Zuli's lead single 'Follow You' is a portrait in contrasts: a snapshot of a life in transition and weighty decisions wrapped in technicolor hues."

The song appears on Zuli's debut full-length album, On Human Freakout Mountain, outOctober 20 via Swoon City. The album has received early critical praise from Earmilk, who proclaim, "Zuli achieves a smooth blend of psych rock and pop, with the pop element comprised of both modern and romantic oldies-inspired melodies" and The Wild Honey Pie, who adds, "It's an ebullient release into an adrenaline-soaked, psychedelic dreamscape and an unexpected build into another realm." FLOOD Magazine furthers, "It's a bright and strange trip, one that highlights both Camenzuli's inventiveness as an arranger and producer and his considerable strength as a melodicist."

Additionally, CON TEMPLATE and Loop Troupe presents Zuli's Freakout Mountain-a Halloween album release show-at Murmrr Ballroom in Brooklyn, NY on Saturday,October 28. Tickets can be purchased here: http://bit.ly/2xZzjRk.
Recorded in Copake, NY and at Refuge Recording in Brooklyn, NY, the album's 10 songs-on which Zuli played most of the instruments-unite colorful, psychedelic textures with hooks and guitar-driven pop. It expands on 2015's EP Supernatural Voodoo but "goes deeper on every level," says Zuli. "The composition on On Human Freakout Mountain is more intricate, the harmonies more lush."
Following his post-high school stints playing music on the road, Zuli returned to Long Island to write and demo his debut, reconnecting with longtime friends in the process. He settled on the title On Human Freakout Mountain "because I felt the songs all connected to this period in life where everything was in limbo," explains Zuli. "You are still connected to your childhood but you need to make decisions that will potentially affect the outcome of your entire life." Many of the album's tracks were inspired by the stories of his closest friends' growing pains and life challenges.
