Since the release of her album Ecdysis in early 2024, Alison Lewis, known as Zoë Zanias, has been prolific, dropping numerous remixes and standalone singles. Her latest track, "Cataclysm," serves as the title song for her upcoming fifth album, blending hyperpop and electronic melancholy while exploring themes of loss and heartbreak. Available as a name-your-price item on Bandcamp via Fleisch Records, "Cataclysm" continues to showcase Zanias’s creative growth, complemented by a visually striking video co-directed with cinematographer Apostolos Zanias. This track also marks her first release of 2025, following a series of remixes and a charitable single aimed at supporting aid for Palestinians.
