Pippa Blundell
Newcastle and Glasgow-based artist Zak Younger Banks blends raw, acoustic sounds, ambient electronics and electric guitar to create original and distinctive songs. Zak's solo work focuses on his explorations into alternative and electronic music, and he is also an established guitarist on the Glasgow folk scene, currently studying at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
Zak's self-released 2018 debut EP, Wrong Turns, was well received by press and on tour across the UK.
“a subtle masterpiece of vocal harmonies that wouldn’t be out of place on a Bon Iver record” “Zak’s voice conjures the likes of expressive songwriters like Jeff Buckley and Elliot Smith…but it’s the arrangements that set them apart from standard singer-songwriter fare” NARC Magazine
