Zombi and Relapse Records will release a collective album called Zombi & Friends, Volume 1, coming next month.
The record features 10 cover songs, originally by diverse artists ranging from Neil Diamond to the Eagles to Dionne Warwick, with the band joined by friends in groups such as Pinkish Black, The Sword, and Zaro.
In a press release, Steve Moore states:
Last year we invited some of our close friends to take part in a series of soft and smooth cover songs we loved from our childhood. Over the course of the year we recorded 25 songs, from roughly the mid 70’s through the mid 80’s, and released a new one almost every Friday. It was a chance to stay busy and connected during the pandemic. Admittedly it started as a bit of a joke with our Barbra Streisand cover, which was originally going to be a one-off, but the reaction was so strong we decided to plan out a whole series.
The album is available on streaming services now and will release on LP/CD on June 17.
