Zeal is a trio with Anya Rose on vocals, Ethan James on guitar, and Oliver Jones on drums. Their song "The More I Forbid Myself, The More Anxious I Get" touches on themes of anxiety and personal struggle, which has drawn both attention and some criticism over how directly they approach those subjects.
They released a debut album called "The Anxious Heart," followed by records titled "Boundless" and "Infinite." The music tends to pair introspective lyrics with layered arrangements, built around Rose's vocals, James's guitar textures, and Jones's drumming.
What comes through is a band focused on emotional expression, often sitting in vulnerable territory. Their work has found listeners who connect with that directness, though the catalog itself remains fairly concise.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
