With "Is It His Fault?" Zehbrah continues to demonstrate why their perspective is already urgent and unique in today's musical landscape. Renowned for weaving existential angst into biting social criticism, Zehbrah's latest feels like a window cracked open into the stress of modern identity, ambition, and emotional openness, all through their inimitable cocktail of humour and depth.
"Is It His Fault?" draws the listener into a complex universe that straddles introspection and detached observation. The song is a meditation on responsibility and blame, both personal and collective, and it forces us to ask hard questions about where we stand in our own lives. Zehbrah does not shy away from openness, but somehow its delivery is informed by a wry sense of knowing, as if the song itself is giving the situation a winking nod at its absurdity, yet cutting deep nonetheless.
Where Zehbrah's songwriting truly shines, though, is when they're able to balance emotion with cultural and philosophical musings. "Is It His Fault?" revels in this tension, offering lyrics that seem both profoundly personal and universally familiar. We get flickers of cosmic imagery, echoes of workplace battles, and undercurrents of identity crises, but none of it feels heavy-handed. Instead, the track unfolds like an internal monologue that many of us experience but seldom put into words, particularly with such precision and artistry.
The song's form reflects its lyrical themes, which are dynamic, searching, and slightly unsettled, as if it were chasing resolution while willfully resisting it. Every layer of sound adds to a mood that's both immediate and grand, which is what makes it the type of track that sticks with you long after the final note fades.
