time apart felt needed
seems a rough month took a season of healing
and if we just once settled our uneasiness
we could have lived
AND / OR
it might be wrong of me to deep it
AND / OR
it might be wrong of me to deep it
it’s been a few months
things are hardly redeemable
it's never been fun for me to read the shit I wrote when I was yours
The production at first glance feels minimal, especially with Teale's moving and telling melancholic vox that feels introspective to the point of self-loathing (a bit), but there is a lot of thoughtful lush things happening that you hear (expanding) every time you listen. This feels like a song that could grace a movie today, a relationship movie of course.

An artist with a singular voice that charts the experiences of young people living in modern Britain through a forward-thinking lens, 18 year old Zack Teale today makes his debut proper with the stirring ‘aphasia’. Boldly fusing the full-bodied electronica he has been creating within his room since the age of 15 with a considered, highly evolved talent for songwriting that belies his years, Teale has emerged out of a saturated bedroom-producer community, utilising the freedom this way of working has afforded him; producing and lending vocal performances to artists in various scenes and genres. This diverse approach has resulted in ‘aphasia’ - one of the most instantly affecting debuts from the UK this year, and a quietly potent statement of intent.
Written and produced by Teale alongside Frankie Scoca, ‘aphasia’ blends the glitched-out electronics with heart-on-its-sleeve confessional lyricism and melancholic delivery, fusing his own personal experience with synthesised atmospheres created through channeling the emotions felt during this time. A devastating cut of heartbreaking avant-garde pop, ‘aphasia’ explores falling in love with someone whose social situation has led them down a different life path to you. The track explores the slow realisation that their lived experience means that their expectations may be higher and result in a missed connection, despite good intentions. It's an extremely relatable story for a number of young working class people, typifying the kind of brutal honesty that comes with Teale’s songwriting.
Drawing influence from a diverse selection of artists, Zack Teale sees the value of intimacy and personality when writing, balancing humor and solemnity carefully to avoid the pretentiousness inherent to self-expression - looking to Phoebe Bridgers, EDEN and Jockstrap as proponents of these ideas. This thinking bled deeply into Teale’s subsequent releases, and is found all over his first project, ‘far too much’, releasing in 2021. These songs are uncompromising in their honesty, rooted in the pursuit of self-discovery and serve as a time capsule of important lessons as Zack leaves his youth behind. The entire project conveys an earnest desire to understand the world, written at a time when Earth seemed to have lost all order. It unpicks the concepts of anxiety, gratitude and solitude with a focus on maintaining raw character that’s both unflinchingly honest and truly relatable.
