Genre: Surfy Dream Pop
For Fans Of: The Freights, Wavves, Wildhoney
When I first heard the first track off this ep aimlessly scrolling through the dream pop tag on bandcamp, I was instantly hooked. It's a well known fact that surf riffs are some of the greatest things to ever happen to pop music, and if they fit well in pop, then surely they must fit well in dream pop? That last part was a rhetorical question, because surf riffs don't just fit well in dream pop, they fit PERFECTLY in dream pop. The riffs are catchy and warm and sound absolutely fantastic under a layer of synth and reverb. Musically though, the band only gets better. The singer's voice wonderfully fits the music, adding another sonic layer to get lost in, and another element that helps this music just mellow you out infinitely. Underneath the vocals and guitars are drums that could not fit the release any better. The drums remain consistently bouncy, providing a stark contrast to the dreamy, melancholy attitude that the vocals and guitars create, and helping to remind the listener that the surf pop aspect of this band is part of what makes them so great.
