| Zipper - Celeste Aldahn and Liam Kenny |
Celeste Aldahn and Liam Kenny are multi-instrumentalists who write music for post-punk quintet ZIPPER and duo BIG ECHO. Zipper’s 2020 debut EP ‘Dreamer’s Gate’ [Tenth Court Records, Australia and Urticaria Record, France] was textural yet taut, with lashes of new-wave pop brushing up against cinematic dueling guitar, while Big Echo is a dreamy synth-wave pop inspired by our continents vast and mysterious landscapes.
