Debut of “Static Txomin” offers a sneak peek at Ezezez’s upcoming album
March 14, 2025 brings the premiere of “Static Txomin”, the second preview of the upcoming album by the Biscay Quartet Ezezez. In this new single, the band weaves a tale about a fox who rejects societal expectations and norms.
Following the release of the energetic track “point”, Ezezez returns with “Static Txomin”, showcasing the powerful sound that fans can look forward to in their upcoming LP. The lyrics paint a picture of a fox in a forest, living a melancholic and restless life, dreaming of a different existence where it could escape the confines of its fox identity. The fox is portrayed as slower and less skilled than its counterparts, not fitting the mold set by society. The song delves into the pressures society places on individuals to conform and the struggle faced by those who do not easily find their place or identity within societal norms. The quartet advocates for self-determination and self-love while challenging alienation, determinism, and peer pressure with a message urging individuals to embrace their true selves and march to the beat of their own drum.
“Static Txomin” pays homage to Bob Marley’s iconic “get up stand up”, a call to action against oppression. The track features a driving beat with punk influences and a powerful bassline, complemented by a fierce vocal delivery. Alongside the band members Unai Madariaga, Eneko Ajangiz, Mikel Irigoyen, and Álvaro Olaetxea, Kike Atxe joins in on the trumpet for a distinct musical touch. True to their DIY ethos, the song was produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by the band members themselves.
Accompanying the track is a visually captivating music video directed by Unai and Eneko, with cinematography and editing by Iyán Altube.
The band also announced a series of upcoming concerts, including stops in Barcelona, Girona, Madrid, and various music festivals across Spain. Fans can expect an electrifying live performance that captures the essence of Ezezez’s unique sound and message.
