Single “Speck of dust” Press release

Rock revivalists Zoramena release their inaugural single on October 26th 2023. “Speck of Dust” is a genre-bending mishmash that captures a live, warm energy (think Permanent Waves era Rush but more DIY). Everything was self-produced in our home studio.

 
 
 
 

BAND BIO

Zoramena is the Basque word for “madness,” which is exactly what the band delivers at every show. Devoted to the DIY approach, they are completely self-produced, having built their first single “Speck of Dust” entirely from the home studio in Coeur D’Alene Idaho. Zoramena is hard to assign to any particular era or trend, but one thing is for certain. Ben Vogel, Pauly B, and Che Stratte are on a mission to bring unapologetic, high-energy rock n’ roll to the 2020s. 

Until this year, the band has been performing lead singer and guitarist Ben Vogel’s original material. His 2022 solo album “Revealed” was recognized on I Don’t Hear a Single, Tongue Tied Magazine, North Idaho Now! podcast, BattleStar Eclectica on KYRS radio, and more.

With the first release under their belt, the band is working on producing more original material, filming their first music video, and continuing to perform regionally throughout the Northwest.

 
 
 
 
 

LYRICS

A speck of dust in the macrocosm
A throwaway line in the song
A solitary soul in a big wide world
Waiting for something to come along

We bury ourselves in contentment
That steadily turns to regret
Tempted to surrender to peaceful darkness
But not quite giving in yet

On and on
Knowing we're destined for something better
A never ending uphill climb

On and on
The beating of hearts doesn't last forever
If only dreams could outrun time

It's easy planning for failure
Preparing yourself for the pain
This world's hardly famous for second chances
And the first one barely remains

Second guessing every decision
You're doubting every word that was said
Wondering if it's better to take that leap
Than to sway on the razor's edge

On and on
Knowing we're destined for something better
A never ending uphill climb

On and on
The beating of hearts doesn't last forever
If only dreams could outrun time

Well we place our bets
And fix our games
And slowly drive ourselves insane
When stakes are high
And chips are down
Waiting for fortune to knock us to the ground

On and on
Knowing we're destined for something better
A never ending uphill climb

On and on
The beating of hearts doesn't last forever
If only dreams could outrun time

We could outrun time
We could outrun time
