One of the defining features of Zaba is its eclectic blend of musical styles. The band draws inspiration from 1960s psychedelia, as evident in the dreamy, atmospheric soundscapes of "Gooey" and "Toes." The album also nods to hip-hop, with the laid-back beats and syncopated rhythms of "Blue Botticelli" and "Flamingo." This eclecticism is a hallmark of Glass Animals' sound, and it sets them apart from their contemporaries.
