Emily Zuzik featured on new Moby album

A prolific singer/songwriter, rocker and sought-after collaborator, Emily Zuzik’s wide-ranging career has allowed her to shift fluidly from acoustic folk to alternative rock and everything in between. A fixture in the New York City music scene for nearly a decade, Zuzik is also a featured vocalist and co-writer of “The Low Hum,” off of Moby’s upcoming album Destroyed, out May 17th, 2011.


From Moby: "'The Low Hum' was another broken down electronic, instrumental track and I gave it to my friend Emily Zuzik and what’s funny is, I didn’t even tell her what the album was about - the theme of music for empty cities at two o’clock in the morning - and she basically wrote these lyrics about being in a hotel room at two o’clock in the morning in an empty city. So maybe she is psychic. I don’t know but it’s a song without a chorus, which I like. And her voice has this quiet sort of disembodied quality to it, which was really hard for her 'cos she is a big singer. But I wanted it to be that sort of disconcerting, warm, womb like quality, where the vocals are almost like someone singing to themselves. Instead of projecting for all the world to hear, it’s sort of like someone in a bath tub, in a hotel next to the Stuttgart train station at three o’clock in the morning singing to yourself in the bath tub. So vocally I think that’s what I was trying to get her to do."


Zuzik, who “mixes the urgent intensity of Ani DiFranco and Tori Amos with the easy cool of Kim Gordon,” (Performing Songwriter Magazine) has toured extensively in the US and UK. Keep an eye out for the release of her seventh studio album this summer.
