Iona Zajac
Honed by high-profile support slots, Glaswegian songwriter Iona Zajac delivers a fiercely feminist and dynamically shifting debut. Bang traverses dream-pop, folk minimalism, and moody alt-rock, channelling the raw intensity of upsetters like PJ Harvey. Zajac is a songwriter with important things to say and a willingness to say them loudly and with a laser-like focus. Bang is a remarkably accomplished, statement-making achievement.
Iona Zajac shares “Murder Mystery,” a surreal new single and video from her forthcoming debut album Bang (Nov 21). The track, accompanied by a striking visual featuring Zajac’s alter ego, is a “fearless dive into the scary everyday fears women live with.” A seasoned artist, Zajac’s debut promises raw, defiant storytelling.

Glasgow’s Iona Zajac confronts a toxic past on her raw new single, “Anton.” A stark contrast to her recent joyous indie-rock, the track is a brave, unflinching reflection on formative experiences with toxic men. Following sold-out tours supporting Alison Moyet and a stint with The Pogues, Zajac channels her rage and newfound power into a heart-wrenching anthem of visceral, poetic defiance.
Following a huge tour with Alison Moyet and The Pogues, Iona Zajac shares “Bang,” a joyful single and brilliantly fun video celebrating female pleasure. A departure from her haunting folk sound, Zajac says, “A good bang at the end of a boring day won’t fix your life, but it might help.” It’s a testament to her unflinching honesty and musical evolution.
