So first of all...BEST album cover of the year, hands down. Second; a truly excellent album! Surfer Blood's debut "Astro Coast" came out this January and I finally got around to giving it a thorough listen. What I found was 10 tracks of upbeat, echoing, surf rock inspired by such legends as Pavement, Weezer, and the Pixies. Listening to this album stimulates your imagination. You can actually make out the sound of the ocean bubbling as you are pinned down by waves crashing overhead (see "Take It Easy"). Killer guitar riffs paired with warm fuzzed out melodies promote memories of sunny days driving with the windows down, careless, and free. These talented bunch of dudes hailing from Florida managed to create a fantastic album and certainly a contender for numerous "Best of 2010" lists.
