Only two years old, London-based quintet Zulu Winter has quickly begun to capture the attention of the fickle music world with their shimmery-yet-forceful brand of rock that's already been compared to The Vaccines and Coldplay. But after a listen to their debut album, Language -- released today in the U.S. via Arts & Crafts -- it's clear these Brits offer much more than a 2012 version of Chris Martin & Co. As evidence, listen to "Bitter Moon," which PAPERMAG is psyched to be premiering as both a stream and a free download. The track -- which, for our part, reminds us a bit of Fleet Foxes -- offers up soaring, echo-y vocals from singer/guitarist Will Daunt and jangly, expansive instrumentals that reach an all-encompassing crescendo around the 2:30 mark. Listen to the song and download it for yourself.Word of Mouth
