Glasgow’s Iona Zajac announces debut album Bang, out 21 November, and shares new single and video, ‘Dilute’. Bang is a reclamation of pleasure and sexual liberation beyond the male gaze.
‘Dilute’ is a slow-burning track, full of fury and feral clarity.
“‘Dilute’ is the anchor of my first album, Bang. I sort of see the song as one of my weird dreams that I’m forcing into reality. Why can’t we run around with red faces, screaming at men who’ve wronged us? I see no issue. I see myself as a feral, strong woman in this song, and I want it to be one for women to find their anger and turn it into power and then one day maybe we can all meet up in a forest painted red and run through it holding hands screaming. Rise together from the warm black oil we’ve been dunked in! After I wrote the song my mum went to an exhibition and found Judy Chicago ‘Woman and Red Flares.’ I think she nailed it.”
