Bearing themes of existentialist desire on its sleeve, Zugzwang is a post-punk introspective look at the Sisyphean experience of every day life. The debut single off Buddy Wynkoop’s upcoming album, Better Than Botox, Zugzwang culminates in a rallying call of understanding that the play of life goes on and we might as well contribute a verse. Zugzwang will premier April 16th on Apple Music and Spotify.
‘Better Days’ is about hope, youthful naivety, and longing for things to get better. It somewhat describes my personality – to always want to see the positive and believe that everything will get better. I’ve been holding on to this song for almost 4 years, but all the upcoming songs very much describe my current state of mind, the pursuit of a happy life well spent. I want to spread love,
says Benjamin Ingrosso.
‘Tough Love’ immerses listeners in the intricate layers of a transcontinental romance weaving through the bustling streets of Los Angeles to the romantic allure of Paris. SEÏTOU’s unique fusion of her French and Ivorian heritage infuses the song with a captivating cultural richness. Delving deep into the complexities of personal relationships, the lyrics offer a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the highs and lows experienced within intimate connections.
This song will break your heart and put it back together again. During covid isolation one winter, ‘Human Beings’ was born on the old piano that was in my flat at the time. It’s fucking good to be alive, but sometimes we need a reminder; this is the message that echoes through ‘Human Beings’, that life can be difficult, and carrying on can seem pointless at times, but that it’s so important to try to find the positives, even in the darkest of times.
