ZKELETONZ drop official video for ‘OUT!
‘OUT!’ is the title track from BBC 6Music, Radio 2 & Introducing-backed Zkeletonz’ self-produced debut album—which features contributions from Alex Gopher (Daft Punk, Phoenix, Ed Banger) and Sam Wheat (Nile Rodgers, Public Enemy).
A fiercely independent band born from London’s DIY scene, Zkeletonz have grown from self-promoted warehouse parties to commanding major stages and are set to launch the album with a 500-capacity party at Camden Underworld on Friday 12th December.
Perfectly showcasing their electronic but guitar-based fusion sound “fans of LCD Soundsystem and MGMT will love” (Q Unsigned act of the week”), ‘OUT!’ is sure to light up Indie, Synth Pop and Alternative Dance-focused DSP and radio playlists as we head into party season.
It’s impossible to not get swept away in the band’s feverish, diva-ish goodness on this glittering, hard-hitting banger, which shows off the kind of insane party vibes that you’ll be able to expect at the Camden Underworld launch night and the type of mercilessly catchy anthems that abound in the debut Zkeletonz album.
The full LP ‘OUT!’ channels the spirits of Breakbot, Phoenix, Daft Punk’s ‘Homework’, and classic Ed Banger French Touch, but from a UK perspective. With a distinctively stylish and ironic edge, the band’s synth-fuelled indie style is at full power on this title track single, which is an intoxicating neon-lit ball of dance energy. Bouncy bass and retro drum machines drive forward relentlessly like an out-of-control rave powered steam locomotive, or a semi-regrettable Camden night out, and the track sees the band fully letting loose. It’s the perfect taster for the album of the same name.
Working independently with no established Manager, Agency or Record Label, Zkeletonz have appeared across BBC radio networks including 6Music (Fresh Finds, Tom Robinson); 5Live (session for Scott Mills & Chris Stark); Radio 2 ‘Sounds of Soul (Tony Blackburn); Introducing (Song of the Week, Band Of The Month – West Midlands) and on BBC-curated Festival stages alongside The Specials, Nile Rodgers/CHIC and the Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show.
They were mentored by DJ Yoda as Wilton’s Music Hall resident Emerging Artists (Dance/Electronic) in 2021 and are alumni of the prestigious MAS Records Artist Development programme (patrons: Rickie Wilson, Kaiser Chiefs; Robert Plant, Led Zeppelin).
The band’s 2025 crowd-funded debut album ‘OUT!’, which commences a trilogy of releases set to continue in the following 2 years, is a sonic love letter to live music, London club culture and late-night events with a focus on the unique and unforgettable experience only live music can provide. The album aims to invoke the adventurous and hedonistic spirit of a by-gone but never forgotten time in musical history and the band’s lives. Think 2004’s ‘You’re a Woman, I’m a Machine’ by Death from Above, 2005’s ‘Capture/Release’ by The Rakes, and ‘Fantastic Playroom’ in 2007 by New Young Pony Club mixed up in a cosmic blender with big hitters like The Strokes, MGMT, Empire of The Sun, and more obscure cuts who were always in Zkeletonz’ headphones as young Uni students, like US electroclash legends The Faint and almost unlistenable synth-noise from Crystal Castles.
Zkeletonz launch debut album ‘OUT!’ on Sat 12th December at Camden Underworld. Get tickets now here.
