Info for Sunday In Heaven

LA-and-Austin-based singer/songwriter Zella Day has announced the details of her forthcoming sophomore album. Entitled Sunday In Heaven, the record, which was written and performed by Day, will be released on October 14, 2022 via Concord Records.

Sunday In Heaven was produced by Jay Joyce (Cage The Elephant, Emmylou Harris), with additional production by John Velasquez and Alex Casnoff, and features additional playing by the likes of Autolux’s Carla Azar and Cage The Elephant’s Daniel Tichneor.The album also includes the acclaimed songs Day released in 2021–“Golden,” “Dance For Love,” and “Girls”–as well as her recently released, pro-reproductive rights track “Radio Silence.”

Sunday In Heaven kicks off with what is destined to be one of the most loved songs of 2022–a tune called “Mushroom Punch,” which is the project’s first single. Described as a “psychedelic trip for the heart” by Day, “Mushroom Punch” is a full-throttle explosion, a song that showcases Day’s expansive voice like no other. A video for the track, directed by acclaimed director Sophie Muller, is also out now.

With every new album an artist makes, there’s an evolution, another chapter; for Zella Day—her new record, Sunday In Heaven, is a whole other book. It’s not so much that it’s a step away from her debut Kicker—although this new record’s richness, ambition, and bare-bones intimacy is significant. It’s that Zella has entered a new era personally, and the effect of this on her music is pronounced and powerful, creating an album that is lightyears forward in sound and scope from its predecessor.

When she began working on the album, Day penned some 70 songs for Sunday In Heaven that were ultimately whittled to ten tracks steeped in Cali blue skies and golden hour light. Some were written on a tablecloth in Ojai (“Almost Good”), some scribbled at her kitchen table, others came in a car driving down to Chino, where she spent the summer of 2019 demoing the album with her friend, producer/engineer John Velasquez. Eventually, in the middle of quarantine, the pair jumped in a Jeep Wrangler, driving cross-country to record with producer Jay Joyce, at his Nashville studio The Neon Church.

Zella Day

Zella Day
is a Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter. Hailing from the remote town of Pinetop, Arizona, and raised by a bohemian family (who hail variously from Long Beach, CA and Mexico), Zella immediately gravitated towards music as a child. At nine years old, she started covering Dylan; after cutting her teeth performing at her grandmother’s coffee house, Zella recorded her first collection of songs at age thirteen. At age twenty, in 2015, she released her debut, Kicker, which won her accolades from critics, multiple television appearances, and sets at Coachella, Bonnaroo, and more. Following Kicker’s release, Zella shifted gears, her artistry and confidence evolving as she settled into her new home of LA. Finding a tribe of local creative cohorts - including Lana Del Rey, Weyes Blood, photographer/artist Neil Krug and more - allowed Day to bloom into her most musically authentic self, writing songs that showed a growth and compassion well beyond her years. An EP - Where Does the Devil Hide, produced by Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach - was released in 2020. Thus far in 2021, with millions and millions of streams under her belt, Day has released a duet with Weyes Blood called “Holocene.” She’s also appeared on Lana Del Rey’s Chemtrails Over the Country Club, covering Joni Mitchell with Del Rey and Weyes Blood in a symbolic passing of the sonic torch from one great LA songstress to the new generation. Later this year, Day is set to release her long-awaited, highly-anticipated sophomore record, following the recently-released “Dance For Love”, “Girls” and “Golden” recorded with notable producer Jay Joyce (Emmylou Harris, Cage The Elephant and more), and is performing at several festival stops including Beachlife and Austin City Limits, and is a special guest on the Silversun Pickups upcoming tour. Day’s forthcoming album is the sound of an artist truly coming into her own, with an incendiary voice literally and metaphorically - unlike any other.

This album contains no booklet.
