Single Review: Zulu Winter – Never Leave
Never Leave Released 7th November 2011 The driving beat of this track is what initially caught my attention, those drums work hard to push the track ever forward and keep the track upbeat rather than letting it drag into something that could easily have become very shoegazy and possibly almost dreary.
