Edinburgh duo, No Windows – made up of 18 year old multi-instrumentalist Morgan Morris and 19 year old vocalist Verity Slangen – have shared a new single titled ‘Zodiac 13’. The track comes on the heels of the band’s packed out UK tour with Lime Garden and ahead of their new Point Nemo EP which is due out May 3 via Fat Possum.
The new single ‘Zodiac 13’ shows yet another facet of the band’s ever evolving sound combing hazy indie-folk inflected instrumentation with Vertiy’s alt-pop-tinged vocals, before the track explodes into its heavy fuzz driven middle eight section. Thematically, ‘Zodiac 13’ compares the doubts and isolation of a waning friendship to the anticipation of the colder months – resulting in a reflective souvenir of a time.
Speaking on the track, Verity says: “This song is written about the isolation I felt as the winter months started, it is about friendships ending and changing and coming to terms with their being a constant doubt when it comes to people near to you. Lyrically this is the oldest song on the EP, and I was much more unsure of my feelings back then, it’s nice to have something to look back on and see how my writing has changed.”
