Gallant has announced details of his LP Zinc., co-produced by Ariza the album will arrive on September 27 via Mom+Pop Music. “I saw Zinc. as the album I’d make if I had the chance to follow up my first record Ology again,” he admits. “It’s a fresh start without confusion and the pressures of being part of a big machine. When I started writing it, I had no label or large team. I met Ariza, and the process mirrored how I did Ology with Stint. All that mattered was if a song spoke to me and if it reflected all of the weird things that make up who I am as a fan and as a person. I entertained myself and got a lot off my chest. I stuck to my guns and created an unfettered body of work that feels like me.”

The first track to be shared with the news of his forthcoming full-length is “Fly On The Wall. (Osaka Version).” Sounding utterly unrestrained, the track’s lithe acoustic guitar washes over hazy keys. His delivery quakes with raw emotion in a moment of clarity, “Excavating every word that I said when I was drunk on false power, who was I to blame for how I’m losing grip?” He exhales on the hook, “Please don’t mind me, I’m a fly on the wall.”

“It came together as an honest and visceral story I’d been trying to write for a long time,” says Gallant. “It’s focused on the lyrics. The chorus reminded me of saying something I regretted in the heat of the moment during an argument.”

This week, Gallant treated fans to a special and intimate underplay show, performing the new album over two nights at the Sun Rose at The Pendry Hotel in West Hollywood. Last night’s show featured higher-energy tracks from Zinc. Tonight will showcase some of the moodier tracks from the album.

Gallant has collaborated with Dua Lipa, Zhu, Brandy, Noah Cyrus and Sufjan Stevens, and made notable appearances at major music festivals such as Coachella, Bonnaroo, and Austin City Limits (ACL).
