Named after a skater society from the 70s, The Zephyr Bones are a surfer-psych-pop band based in Barcelona.
Having moved from Chile to Spain to start a band, their music is full of summery beach vibes and the sea is a huge inspiration to them, drawing on the never-ending sunsets, all roads leading to the ocean.
Taking their inspiration from US bands such DIIV, The Drums, Wild Nothing, Real Estate, Beach Fossils and Beach House, the four-piece use skeletal rhythms, sparse instrumentation and shimmering synthesizers to create delightfully danceable melodies.
Listen to the summery California-style vocal melody of Black Lips, their first international release, it is one half of a double A side 7″ single to be released by La Castanya in conjunction with New York’s Other Music.
