Happy 10 years of Self Titled! Here's a previously unreleased cover of The Beers that we recorded a few years ago (that's why the quality sucks lol).

The Beers (The Front Bottoms cover)

More change, more challenge, more stress, more awareness of our frailty. Also more truth, more focus on priorities. What is life for? What do we choose to do with our precious life time?

“Life’s a Spark” was initially conceived during the first wave of Covid lock-down, then marinated in everything else that has happened since. We all know, but too often forget that life is a spark, and it can dance.

This an old song Levannah and Owl wrote before starting Qkumba Zoo. But they've always known its been a goodie. So here is an acoustic version

Butterflies (Out of Time) - acoustic version

Beautiful

Qkumba Zoo releases its first new songs in 15 years. "Butterflies (Out of Time)" is a punchy reminder that life is short. Also included in the EP is "Flicker" and the Defected Sounds of London remix of Butterflies (Out of Time)

the second verse is about listening to alkaline trio when you're sad

These Visions Acoustic

Qkumba Zoo straddle as many contradictions as their native South Africa. They have one foot planted in the fertile delta of their continent’s ancient tribal rhythms and the other in the western world’s most progressive, cutting-edge yet melodically shimmering alterna-pop. They are attuned to the mysticism and magic of their homeland as the birthplace of civilazation, yet have their sights firmly set on a multi-media future in post-punk, post-apartheid South Africa, just as the old and new toil away side-by-side in present-day Johannesburg.
