SURFS UP.

Surf Music rules. It makes me wanna move to california and spend my life smoking weed on the beach round big fires with sun-bleached hair and listening to surf. I've spent the past few days basically dreaming about this and these have been the soundtrack to my daydreams- check on em.

FLUFFY LUMBERS.

Fluffy lumbers is a guy from ridgewood, new jersey (don't really know how that works out because he sings a lot about the beach) who makes really happy, garagey, sort of lo-fi music which is always amazing and really nice without sounding too corny. He's signed to wierd hug and released a four track ep not too long ago entitled 'the police cruisers ep', its one of the best things i've heard in 2009 and i've played it to absolute death. Its full of well-placed oo's and ahh's and simple yet trippy synth shit. i can see his name popping up a lot in the near future so oltyt.

WASHED OUT

Washed out are, in the words of pulp fiction 'fucking trippy.' If synthesizers and drum machines got high and hung out on beaches They'd sound like this. Its unbelievably relaxing and calming yet at the same time really interesting and the sound just completely immerses you-. The guys called Ernest Greene, from South carolina. He makes the majority of his stuff from his bedroom and his influences lie in Photographers and places rather than say, the beach boys (no disrespect to the beach boys). Evidently, he also pumps a lotta 'erb, he's making quite a presence on the sort of "lo-fi/no-fi" scene so watch out.

WAVVES

I've blogged about wavves before but a mere 1 post just doesn't do it justice. As afore mentioned, the one-piece from san diego makes suuuch happy, lively surfy punk music with about 10,000 layers of distortion and reverb that just creates an incredible atmosphere whenever you play it. Its like nothing else ever yet the ideas and noises behind it are (usually) simple. He also creates weird tracks of just odd noises piled on top of each other, calls the majority of his songs "_____ GOTHS' or " _____DEMON" and all his lyrics are just about getting high and drunk and not bothering with that whole do-well-at-stuff lark, which is always nice. wavves4life.
