“Though it may not be the only Zebra in existence, it sure is something special and we cant wait to watch them blossom in 2021.”


Sumptuous and optimistic, ‘Zebra’ explores social media through the wooziness of soft-indie.  

There is a richness to Cal in Red (otherwise known as Connor and Kendall Wright): a strong musical identity no doubt found in the familiarity of brotherhood. It makes for a promising EP, with the imminent release of their debut record close on the horizon. ‘Zebra’ – its first single – takes inspiration from the social pitfalls of the social media generation, where digital gratification replaces authentic connection. “Sure a Zebra is unique”, says Kendall, “but guess what, there are fields and fields full of Zebras out there”. Instead, Zebra celebrates the little victories and finds gloriousness in the everyday: we are enough as we are.

With such serious themes you might expect a density to the track, but Cal in Red effortlessly find an airiness by welding sliding vocals and synths to create a summery casualness. It’s the soundtrack to a road trip: the top spot on a playlist also featuring Beach House and Tame Impala. Though it may not be the only Zebra in existence, it sure is something special.
