Tender Yellow

Zzzahara (They/Them) is the solo moniker of Eyedress/Simps/U.S. Velvet guitarist Zahara Jaime. Plenty of people come to Los Angeles looking to make their California dreams a reality. But zzzahara has always been here, turning reality into a dream. Born and raised in Highland Park, where they still reside, zzzahara has witnessed both gang-blighted and gentrified L.A. along the same geographical blocks. Like the transforming city itself, zzzahara has undergone massive personal changes.Tender is out now on CD, LP and Cassette on Lex Records. "Tender is a journey of feeling emotional and learning to show kindness to all the rough parts of love," zzzahara says about the album. "From monotonous dates, relationship failures, vulnerability and ultimately gentleness for yourself, this album is a recollection of how fast life moves and how living in the moment can be tender yet rugged. I placed my baggage down and left it on the floor so I could smile and laugh like everyone else."
