Eight Gigs: Zella Day

If there was one good thing to come out of the second season of True Detective, it was the music of Lera Lynn, moody songstress from the bar scenes whose “The Only Thing Worth Fighting For” misled everyone into thinking the show was going to be good. Though 20-year-old Arizona native Zella Day, who released her first full-length album Kicker in June, is considerably poppier, her smoky vocals sound a little something like Lynn with heavy dollops of Lana Del Rey. Her first single, “Hypnotic,” is a boho-pop confection aimed squarely at post-millenials, and it'd be no surprise if Day were to become a big act in months to come. 9426 Greenback Lane, www.zelladay.com.
