Zzzahara is a US singer songwriter, born and raised in Highland Park, Los Angeles to Mexican & Filipino parents and previously part of The Simps duo alongside Eyedress. Zzzahara’s music wades into the deep waters of love, lust, and self-discovery in a part of the world where artifice and authenticity co-exist. Emerging from the heart of LA’s alternative music scene, their sound is raw in feeling and rebellious by nature. Their 2022 debut album, Liminal Spaces, chronicles a coming-of-age in Highland Park, following painful childhood memories through to late-night, live-fast coping mechanisms, and the changes the neighborhood has endured over the same period of time. Their 2023 follow-up, Tender, marked a period of slowing down, looking inward, and embracing a softer side of being.
Latest release ‘Spiral Your Way Out’ (2025) marks another sonic evolution as much as an emotional one. Zzzahara’s songs have always come wrapped in a warm glow that reflects how they were written–namely at home in their bedroom. That glow remains on‘Spiral Your Way Out’, but it also packs an ambitious streak and a gutsy punch. Taking a more collaborative approach than usual, Zzzahara worked with a range of producers including Jorge Elbrecht (Japanese Breakfast, No Joy, Sky Ferreira), Sarah Tudzin (boygenius / Cloud Nothings / The Armed), former Ducktails guitarist Alex Craig (Jelani Aryeh / re6ce)and Halsey tour drummer Franco Reid, who helped harness their intimate style of writing and blow it up into something more panoptic.

Bleary Eyed
https://blearyeyed.bandcamp.com/
Bleary Eyed was formed in 2015 by frontman Nathaniel Salfi (guitar & vocals) Since their inception in the DIY scenes of DC and Philadelphia respectively, the band has taken many artistic turns. Through that experimentation, they’ve had time to grow into the sound they were always meant to make, filling a unique space in the shoegaze genre with their sample-heavy hazey computer pop atmosphere. The band presents a positive energy with relatable lyrics with stacked harmonies from Reynolds and Salfi over densely layered sample filled instrumentals. The songs teeter from more pleasant pop songs to heavier fuzz tracks sometimes blending elements from both styles.
The band has released their 3rd LP entitled “Easy” on Born Losers Records. This is some of the band's best work yet, with more cohesive production and songwriting. Each song is a journey of its own exploring themes of vulnerability and self acceptance via the twists and turns of one's life. Sonically the record is more diverse than past releases with heavy fuzz songs and some sample driven pop songs. As frontman Salfi explains about their previous EP “I could write stuff that’s really esoteric” says Salfi. “But I want to write stuff that’s fun and warm for people to enjoy too.”
That aforementioned warmth has always been Bleary Eyed’s golden string, the thing that has led them through the labyrinth of life and back to the sense of community and undeniable love that defines their origin story. You listen to the EP, and you feel it too, whether it’s the way that Whipps and Salfi’s voices effortlessly complement each other’s or the sense of light that permeates the release.
