Wasted by District Five

The release of the album «Pause» dates just a few weeks back and District Five already drop the previously unreleased song «Wasted». With a clear conscience it can be called the poppiest song in District Five’s history. With this song, the band’s jazzy origins could be guessed at best. Trippy, vibing, and yet concrete. Unmistakable dry drum sounds, bubbly bass and singing guitars. New is the congenial vocal duet Vojko Huter and Tapiwa Svosve, whose voices complement each other perfectly.

District Five break through generational boundaries. Math-rock, post punk, jazz, electronica, film music: those are corner stones of a new sound through which the four visionaries from Zurich are permanently leaving gridlocked genres behind and begin to build their own avantgarde.
This music is a process of finding new liberties and at the same time it sets an example for diversity as well as long-lasting friendship.

District Five has been meeting in the rehearsal room for over ten years, reflecting themselves, their friendship, their influences and experiences in their music. The result is a work that keeps on moving. Sometimes closer to jazz, sometimes pop, sometimes further away from it, but always close to itself. Hyper-energetic freefall music injected directly into your brain through your ear canals.
