ZEPHR – Don’t Worry About It — Snappy Little Numbers, 2020


It’s fantastic to still see label holding up the torch when it comes to being dedicated to the fine art of the analogue format, partly because of its sonic superiority, partly as a reminiscence to a time where it was de rigour.

Snappy Little Numbers is a label that keeps pumping out quality releases, lovingly illustrated with attention to detail and no strict dogma as to stylistic confines and the Zephyr LP is no exception.

ZEPHYR’s Don’t Worry About It LP is an interesting one as after having been tricked by the cover into thinking that it was going to be dominated by an artsy singer-songwriter vibe, the full-length proves to be a dynamic, punky exercise in channelling La Dispute mixed with the band’s idiosyncratic gruff yet tender energy, which is comprised in equal parts of power pop sensitivities and the trademark scrappiness indie rock of the 1990s became loved for.

A lean, melodic and intimate album that comes in randomly mixed coloured vinyl.
