As announced last month, J. Zunz, the musical project by Mexican artist Lorena Quintanilla has revealed a new album on Rocket – a mesmerising 9 track LP called 'Obsidiana'.
Following on from the visceral repetition of 'Silvia' we are happy to reveal the second single from the album, the electronic noisegaze of 'Osiris' – listen above.

'Obsidiana', the third J. Zunz album on Rocket – manages to be both more aggressive and more gentle than anything she’s previously created either on her own or in her work in Lorelle Meets The Obsolete. A study in balance, its emotional charge remains strong and intact whether on the eerie, almost Radiophonic ambience of ‘Imago’, the dancefloor-adjacent, Chris & Cosey-esque ‘Osiris’ or the abrasive, industrial-strength confrontation of ‘Silvia’. On ‘Final’ meanwhile, Lorena is joined by her only main collaborator this time around, Freddie Murphy (Father Murphy) whose trumpet and synth abstractions offer further vivid colour to ‘Obsidiana’s spectrum.
