The Zoë Kilgren Band (ZKB) is a genre-bending rock quartet captivating the indie music scene with their dynamic sound and heartfelt performances. Their single, “All The Time,” released on October 17, 2024, showcases their evolving artistry and has garnered attention from music enthusiasts and publications alike.

Based in Los Angeles, ZKB is known for their wholesome approach to rock music, seamlessly blending various influences to create a unique and engaging listening experience. Their growing fan base appreciates the band’s commitment to authenticity and musical innovation. The band’s music is available on all platforms, where they have amassed 63k streams this past year on Spotify alone. ZKB’s dedication to their craft and their ability to connect with audiences through their music continue to solidify their presence in the indie rock scene.

Their latest single “Magician” chronicles the delicate dance between blind faith and betrayal, featuring an unconventional song structure that mirrors its complex emotional narrative. The track builds from stripped-back verses into a delayed chorus that arrives halfway through the song, creating a tension that perfectly captures the story’s mounting desperation.  A standout element is the track’s bridge, featuring a mesmerizing minute-long instrumental build beneath a haunting spoken-word poem.

The single’s title draws inspiration from the duality of the Magician in tarot —representing both the conman and the creator, the end and the beginning. This metaphysical element adds another layer to the track’s exploration of trust, love, and self-discovery.

Frontwoman Zoe Kilgren says

“Magician is about the utter desperation and naivete that comes with loving someone who will never get it together. The person you love who can’t stop drinking and flirting with other people inevitably makes you look like a fool too, and then you’re left to clean off all their mistakes that have ended up staining you.”
