Ambitious psych quartet The Zephyr Bones have just shared a lush new single “No One,” a brilliant cross-genre jam that switches sounds effortlessly. The fresh track comes ahead of their forthcoming sophomore album Neon Body that’s due this October. It’s been about four years since the debut Bones record, and the band have leapt back onto the scene in strong fashion. The Barcelona outfit throw an absolute hurricane at the listener here, which a razor sharp psychedelic instrumentation and infectious charisma that make their hiatus well worth the wait.
“No One” opens up like a traditional indie dance track, with sparkling guitars and a vibrant synth lead reminiscent of a cut from The Strokes or Tame Impala. But it progresses in a fascinating way, bringing in a crunchy psychedelic guitar solo and a funky instrumental breakdown at the end. This track has a variety of sounds, but it’s prog rock more than anything, as the dynamic instrumentation sticks out the most. Every layer here is not only an excellent piece to the larger puzzle while also being technically impressive on its own. Despite these nods to the more experienced rock nerd, what’s the most fascinating is how accessible the tune really is. The wild drum beats, dense synth layers, and lightning-quick guitars demonstrate the true cerebral chemistry of the group. The sheer musical talent doesn’t hurt either.
