THE BEAST

Somewhere between a fever dream and a smoky nightclub in a parallel dimension, the sound of ZKIN begins to echo — dark, seductive, cinematic. If David Lynch ever assembled a band to soundtrack his subconscious, it might sound exactly like this.

Hailing from Linköping, Sweden, the enigmatic duo ZKIN — comprised of Jonas Gustafsson and Malin Jeraeus — formed in 2022 with a mission to create music that defies traditional boundaries. Their self-described blend of Desert Soul , Bristol Blues , and Cinematic Industrial Synth Rock crafts an immersive, dreamlike soundscape where every beat feels like a heartbeat and every melody a whispered secret.

Their latest single, “ Shadows ,” is a haunting ode to desire, secrecy, and the allure of the forbidden. The track glides over a sultry electronic rhythm, weaving mysterious synth textures with haunting vocal layers that shimmer in and out of the darkness. Lyrically, “Shadows” dives into the intimate and intangible — the magnetic pull of love and lust, the thrill of the hidden, and the way the night allows us to become who we truly are.

Directed with a visual style that wouldn’t feel out of place in a Lynchian film, the video complements the song’s mood perfectly — a hypnotic dance of light and shadow, desire and restraint.

The track was produced and mixed by Simon Söderberg , known for his past work with Ghost , and his touch brings a haunting clarity and weight to the production. Every synth pulse and vocal breath feels intentional, creating a tense yet sensual atmosphere that lingers long after the last note fades.

ZKIN doesn’t just write songs — they construct sonic worlds. And “Shadows” invites listeners into a dusky realm of emotion where genre is irrelevant, and only feeling matters.
