Ziggy Splynt – All is Full Of Love
The Utrecht-based alt-rock group Ziggy Splynt has released a hypnotic cover of Björk’s timeless song “All is Full Of Love.” With a plethora of live experience under their belt—they have performed on major radio stations, taken part in Popronde, gone on many UK tours, and delivered a dark and reflective track that builds to a reverb and distortion-heavy finale. The track opens with dreamy shoegaze vibes that take listeners to otherworldly places. As the song progresses, post-punk elements, particularly evident in the bass lines, begin to weave into the mix. The vocal performance is characterized by neo-prog elements, reminiscent of Radiohead’s “OK Computer” era. The singer’s almost-whispered delivery is perfectly balanced, each word and breath carefully sculpted to reflect a dark and ethereal mood. A standout moment occurs around the 2:15 mark, where an electric guitar crescendo emerges, keeping the mood elevated and paying homage to the mysterious and otherworldly vibe reminiscent of The Gathering’s music. Ziggy Splynt’s rendition of “All is Full Of Love” shows the band’s ability to reinterpret a classic from their own distinct angle. The song changes dramatically as it progresses, moving listeners from meditative dreaminess to powerful, distortion-filled climaxes. Combining elements of post-punk, neo-prog, and shoegaze creates a rich musical world that highlights the band’s varied influences and musical talent.
