The Zangwills – “Beers With The Beekeeper”

“Beers With The Beekeeper” by The Zangwills feels like exactly the kind of track you’d want to stumble across during a summer afternoon at your local. It’s upbeat without trying too hard to be, and there’s a looseness to the whole thing that really works. The band leans into a stripped-back arrangement that gives plenty of breathing room to Jake Vickers’ vocals, which cut through with personality and a slightly off-kilter charm that fits the tone perfectly.

The songwriting is sharp in a casual, knowing way, the whole idea of chatting to strangers at the bar and forming these temporary, no-strings-attached connections is oddly specific but instantly familiar. It’s cleverly built on a riff the drummer had lying around, which makes the end result feel like something the band didn’t overthink. They just ran with what felt right, and the decision to keep the instrumentation minimal was a smart move.

If you’re into music that doesn’t take itself too seriously but still knows how to connect, go follow The Zangwills online. You won’t want to miss what they’ve got coming for the rest of 2025.
