Zelma Stone

About: Red Light lit is a performance series, featuring spoken word and storytelling set to a live musical score.

On Zelma Stone’s fourth upcoming EP A Dance, a series of songs mirroring both the individual stages of grief as well as the ways in which they spiral into one another, helical, like dancers moving through air. With A Dance—which was co-produced with Meernaa’s Carly Bond at Altamira Sounds Studio in Alhambra, CA—Zelma holds tender her most painful emotions while readily willing herself to let them go. Throughout the upcoming EP’s four songs, Zelma’s voice is the porous scaffolding around which warm beds of luminescent synths, exultant guitars and woody drums weave. Songs build and swirl with meticulously-crafted precision.

Mary Simich grew up in California in a very musical family. Her big brothers played in Thee Cormans, who dressed up in monster costumes and played garage rock in the true Budget Rock style. For years, Mary was very content with writing songs in secret, until one day she visited some friends in Berlin and ran into King Khan at a grimy Berlin bar called Wowsville. King Khan noticed that she was traveling with her guitar, and asked her to play a song. "The room got real quiet, and Mary started singing these haunting ballads, and I knew I had to record them!" says King Khan. He invited her to his home studio and the rest was history. They recorded all 12 tracks in just a few days.
