Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut solo album from the legendary frontwoman of Come and Live Skull, 'Been Here and Gone' is a dark, beautiful, and deeply melancholic work. The record sees Zedek moving away from the abrasive noise rock of her past towards a more restrained and atmospheric sound, blending the patient pace of slowcore with the dusty twang of gothic country. It's a stunning showcase for her incredible, smoky voice and her powerful, introspective songwriting.
