    Album Description

    On their 2005 album, titled Bright Yellow Flowers on a Dark Double Bed, The Zephyrs display an organic and elaborate sound making use of natural reverberations, acoustic guitars and mixing influences (pop, country, folk, noise...) in an inseparable unity. On this Acuarela exclusive they have made what is undoubtedly their best record to date, which is also to say it´s the most accessible and straightforward after their 2001 and 2003 efforts on Southpaw and Setanta.

    5 out of 5 stars Ignore That Rediculous First Review.......2007-03-28

    To see 2-1/2 stars as the overall rating for this lovely gem of an album really upsets me. And all because someone wholly unfamiliar with this arena of music, by chance stumbled across it, and decided to hate it based on a bizarre comparison with a dead icon. Likewise, to bring up a cheesy wannabe punk band as a comparison is indeed like equating apples with oranges. Sounds like he needs to expand his record collection badly.

    While admittedly there is a slight tinge of psychedelia coloring a few of the songs, this is really an alt-country album and fans of that genre will love it and haters will hate. I will admit that it did take a few listens for the album to sink in but now I'm totally hooked. Couple of the standouts are:

    What Voltage is the Moon: a beautiful, emotive and cinematic instrumental piece that perfectly flows through melodic peaks and valleys.

    Stargazer: impressively maudlin and gorgeous harmonizing girl-boy vocals.

    By the way, the singer sings quite capably with a longing twang perfect for this genre and the steel guitar is a show-stealer. Please check this album out and give some much-needed attention to this Indie Scottish band.

    4 out of 5 stars highlands and fishing villages.......2006-03-27

    While listening to the CD I wanted to find some information about the band and was so shocked by the negative review here that I have decided to write this.

    This really is NOT anything like Green Day and it is neither "teeny-bopper" nor "bubblegum".

    Try to imagine Spiritualised and The Jesus and Mary Chain playing indie folk music.

    I'm sure it will sound great for driving across their native Scotland to, from quiet fishing villages to rolling highland.

    Oh and yes there are some sliding steel guitars.

    1 out of 5 stars One Bad Element can RUIN an entire Band........2005-09-03

    I was led here by some circuitous route online, looking for a band with Jerry Garcia-like trippy steel guitar (noone does it like he did I guess?).

    Anyways, I may be an overcritical SOB, but this band has a common defect....the music seems OK, but the SINGER is so farging teeny-bopper whiny and derivative in a downright Green Day bubblegum fashion that I cannot cope!

    sorry.
