Zoë Mc Pherson embodies the unexpected. Their vibrant, nuanced music tests sonic extremes and musical pleasure, grapples with politics and raw emotion, shapes fantasy concepts and meditates on reality. Contrasts are hardwired into their projects, performances and collaborations, bringing bold forms into sharp relief — the constant in their art is evolution. Mc Pherson has developed an arc of accomplished albums and EPs which strike out into uncharted zones, moving from the acute percussive angles of earlier albums through to more melodious, vocal-charged exploration. The sonic elements shifting within their sound reach from the physicality of soundsystem music to the hyper-kinetic rhythms of singeli, avant-garde synthesis, textural experimentation and the unfiltered emotive impact of club-ready pop.

Tonally ambitious and deviously percussive, hismusic takes the essence of Arabic tarab and shelat forms (often seen as wedding music)and dilutes it in a dance floor-ready roil of booming bass and dissociated synths
