Iona Zajac

Iona Zajac is set to release her highly anticipated debut album, Bang, on November 21st. The announcement follows a monumental year, marked by her powerful singles “Summer,” “Bang,” and “Anton.” Today, she unveils “Dilute,” a raw and surreal track that channels fury into liberation, offering a powerful glimpse into her cathartic new record. Watch the accompanying video, shot & directed by Carys Huws.

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.

Inspired by an Emily Dickinson poem, Iona Zajac has shared a music video for ‘Summer’, her first release since 2023 – it begins with a “morning penny-drop realisation that we need more than love to be good for someone.”
