Brighton quintet Van Zon make a striking entrance with their exhilarating debut single “Cannon Fodder”, a mesmerizing 8-minute fusion of experimental folk-infused post-rock, which builds up to the breathtaking crescendo in the second half.
Deliberately crafted as the band’s manifesto, the single strives to echo the perspectives of every member within the group, as they articulate:
“Cannon Fodder represents our first year as a fully-formed band. It serves as a musical collage of each member of the group, taking all aspects of our influences and enabling them to co-exist. The lyricism concludes a narrative that stretches throughout the Van Zon discography; we’re beginning at the end”.
