Zimmer - Coming of Age
Roche Musique producer Zimmer is now set to release his latest EP – ‘Coming of Age’, to the masses today July 10. This four-track window into Zimmer’s new musical direction is available to download and stream now.
Zimmer’s steady rise from Parisian based bedroom producer to a staple on the international DJ circuit and top 10 Hype Machine regular, has been nothing short of incredible. With a host of wildly popular remixes of the likes of MØ, Wunder Wunder and Tina Turner, as well as originals like “Galapagos” or “Saturday Love” that have clocked up countless plays, Zimmer is primed to show the next chapter of his musical journey.
Recorded in Paris and Los Angeles, Coming of Age oscillates between euphoric moments and nostalgia. The EP starts with “Heartbreak Reputation”, rising through multi-layered chords, majestic vocals from Polina and backed by a crisp slow-mo groove. ‘Escape’, the lead single from the EP, builds on this momentum with a playful piano melody and ethereal vocal from Norwegian singer Emilie Adams.
“Moonrise” revolves around a luminous guitar melody while ghostly vocals sweep in and out along muted drums, before an array of hand claps takes the song to it’s euphoric tipping point. Coming of Age ends with “We Are Infinite”, an epic indie finale that feels like the soundtrack of Lost In Translation, capturing the feeling of the morning after an incredible night out in Tokyo.
Zimmer describes his sound as a modern and colorful house music, and his new EP Coming of Age is definitely proving it. “With this EP, I took time to experiment, to sharpen my sound, to bring out the emotions I wanted on the record. I put my heart and soul into this, and hopefully it’s my most complete work to date.”
Zimmer will be touring around the world to share his EP in DJ sets. Be sure to catch him playing in the US, Canada and Mexico from September to October.
