Zeroz Delivers A Cinematic Yet Confrontational New Track With ‘Year of the Broken’
Zeroz have always felt like a band built for a world where music, visuals, and narrative no longer exist separately. “Year of the Broken” leans fully into that philosophy, delivering a track that sounds as cinematic as it does confrontational.
Aidan Christopher Haughey continues to operate as the sole architect behind Zeroz’s sound and visual identity, and that singular control is audible here. The production is sharp-edged but theatrical, layering noise rock aggression with hyperpop elasticity in a way that feels deliberately larger than life.
Thematically, the song is rooted in frustration—political, personal, and cultural. It gestures toward a world under strain, led by figures who appear increasingly detached from consequence. Rather than spelling this out directly, the track expresses it through intensity, repetition, and sonic overload.
There’s also a strong undercurrent of pop culture influence, particularly Chainsaw Man, which lends the track its sense of stylized violence and emotional volatility. But this never tips into pastiche; instead, it functions as another language within Zeroz’s broader multimedia vocabulary.
With tours lined up across Japan, the UK, and France, and an upcoming app extension to the Zeroz universe, “Year of the Broken” feels less like a standalone single and more like an entry point into an expanding system. It’s chaotic, yes; but increasingly intentional in its chaos.

VAAST drops “Remember These Days” and it seriously feels like the future of French pop
France has given the world some of its biggest electronic icons. From Daft Punk to DJ Snake and David Guetta, French artists have shaped global music culture for decades. But lately, finding a track that mixes real emotion, cinematic vibes and dance energy all at once? Pretty rare.
That’s exactly where Vaast steps in.
His new single “Remember These Days” is an addictive mix of modern French electronic production and timeless pop songwriting. Think emotional melodies, huge atmosphere, deep basslines and the kind of track you want both in your headphones at 2AM and blasting during a late-night drive.
The production blends layered synths, marimba-inspired textures, synthetic African vocal elements and immersive cinematic energy. And yes, there’s even inspiration pulled from Avatar, the legendary movie universe that defined a whole cultural era. That influence gives the track its futuristic-but-nostalgic feeling, like a memory from the future.
