Zephyrs are a teenage guitarist/drummer duo from Seattle. Most of the tracks here are based around jangling guitars and loud, pounding drums, and the vocals (when not screamed) are a weird nasally hybrid of Neil Young and Michael Stipe. Big emo/math/post-rock influences, with a touch of slowcore on the ballads. FCC clean.

1 (2:00) Slurring, jangly, upbeat, poppy/punky
2 (4:50) Crashing drums, lots of tempo/intensity changes, slightly dark sounding. Ends abruptly to transition into 3.
*3 (3:20) Washes of guitars, pounding drum beat, a few noisy jammy parts
4 (1:33) Straightforward mid-tempo fuzzy jangle with lots of cymbals
5 (1:44) Fast, loud, mathy, screamed vox
6 (2:37) Ballad, Codeine influenced with loud sections
*7 (1:02) Sung/spoke harmonies, some super nasal vox
*8 (3:32) Slow, pounding, blankets of effected guitars; some girl? child? backing vox,
9 (2:25) Disjointed start, then things slow down and start echoing
10 (6:24) Suite: opens with a cub scout? song and campfire sounds -> quiet humming/guitar -> loud, soaring post-rock -> more quiet guitar/cymbals
