After a string of singles, darkwave project EFF will release debut album Zero on Dec. 8.
EFF started in 2023, with the songs that comprise Zero were written after July 2024 and take the sound in a new direction that balances reflection with transition. To steal some perfect language from the onesheet, Zero is equally danceable and sorrowful, detached and alive. It's darkwave with cold industrial sounds that merge with an ever-longing human spirit.
After starting EFF with 9 streaming singles, the album was a step forward and, alternately, a step back, says the artist:
Overall, Zero has turned out even colder than I had intended. In terms of songwriting, I went where it hurts and tackled topics that had been dormant within me for a long time. I went back to my old intuition -- the darker, the better. What I do is "night music," and the record sounds exactly like that.
