It’s been over two and a half years since Zomby released his debut album, Where Were U In ‘92?, a rave record evoking that titular period. Following a series of releases that switched from the melancholic to the menacing, it marked him out as an unpredictable, underground hero.
Having signed a worldwide deal with 4AD, the wait for new material is almost over. Dedication, a wholly different record to its predecessor, marks Zomby's return from his hiatus with typical style; a dark and absorbing listen that engulfs the listener, running between sparse electronics, techno hooks and minimal piano riffs.

Zomby released his first album for 4AD, Dedication, in July. Over two and a half years since he released his debut album, Where Were U In ‘92?, Dedication was a wholly different record to its predecessor. Dedicated to the memory of an absent friend, it is both a dark and absorbing listen that engulfs the listener, running between sparse electronics, techno hooks and minimal piano riffs. Making up for lost time, Dedication continued to put Zomby at a distance from his peers.
