Discover LMNT 115’s “Out of the Dark” Featuring Zak Abel

“Out of the Dark,” the new single from enigmatic Australian duo LMNT 115 featuring British vocalist Zak Abel, is only their third official release—but it lands with the polish and emotional precision of seasoned hitmakers.

Zak Abel, whose voice has long added soul to the productions of global dance titans like Kygo, Avicii, and Alan Walker, brings a warm, textured presence here that feels rooted in lived experience. He doesn’t just sing over the beat—he moves with it, gliding between resilience and release as the track builds from delicate piano strokes into an arms-wide-open chorus that practically demands daylight. The production, layered with organic percussion and a bassline that gently tugs at the groove, steers clear of overprocessing in favor of genuine uplift. This is summer music, no question—but with depth.

LMNT 115, meanwhile, continues to build its mythos with style. Inspired by cyberpunk cityscapes and animated storytelling, the duo operates more like a conceptual art project than a traditional DJ act. Their approach isn’t just about branding—it’s about escape. Characters Z and Fab, the singer-songwriter and producer halves of the group, serve as avatars for a bigger idea: that music can be immersive, visual, and emotionally charged all at once.

Since debuting in late 2024 with “Close to You,” LMNT 115 has aimed high. Their follow-up, “Holding On To Us,” racked up over 7.5 million streams and views, proving that fans were connecting with both the sound and the story. “Out of the Dark” feels like the next chapter—both musically and narratively—and it’s one that suggests they’re only just getting started.

The accompanying video furthers their cinematic lean. It doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel visually, but it does exactly what it should: reinforce the track’s central message of growth, gratitude, and the slow return of light after darkness. In a genre that often veers toward the superficial, LMNT 115 and Abel manage to keep things grounded and sincere.

Abel, fresh off a run of solo singles including “Home” and “My Way,” has found new momentum in 2025. His recent duet with Rhys Lewis, “Brother To Me,” was a moving exploration of male vulnerability, and his continued partnership with Kygo (including the Nile Rodgers-assisted “For Life”) keeps his name etched into the global pop consciousness. On “Out of the Dark,” though, he sounds especially at home—like an artist who knows exactly where he’s been and where he’s headed.

LMNT 115 has built a universe, and Zak Abel, in all his rawness and heart, fits right in. “Out of the Dark” feels good—and more importantly, it feels real.
