Color Palette drops fuzzed-out anthem ‘Zombie’

Washington, DC’s indie dream-pop outfit Color Palette return with ‘Zombie’, a distortion-soaked, guitar-forward earworm that fuses shoegaze haze with pop sensibility and a garage-rock bite.

Led by principal songwriter and vocalist Jay Nemeyer, ‘Zombie’ imagines a world where The Strokes let loose in a shoegaze daydream; cranking the amps, layering shimmering textures, and leaning into a hook-heavy chorus that won’t quit. The track’s upbeat energy contrasts with its haunting undertones, offering a sonic rush that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly loud.

Known for crafting lush auditory landscapes and sharing stages with the likes of Charli XCX, Color Palette continues to expand their sound with ‘Zombie’, a single that’s as immediate as it is immersive.
