When you think of Palm Beach, Florida, what comes to mind? Palm trees swaying gently in the balmy breeze? Scantily-clad bikini buxom babes
rollerblading down an infinite slab of coral-colored concrete? How about anthemic, bombastic, life-affirming indie pop? If the latter didn\’t occur to you, let us introduce you to Surfer Blood, aka JP Pitts, Tyler Schwarz, Thomas Fekete and Brian Black: they call West Palm Beach home and, while still in their early 20s, have penned \”Astro Coast\”, an album\’s worth of catchy, summery indie songs that even the most hook-laden power pop band would rightfully be jealous of. Indeed, one listen to the opening blast of \”Floating Vibes\”, and you are hopelessly hooked, with its breezily infectious riffs, handclaps and Beach Boys-esque harmonising all conspiring to make you feel as though summer had arrived early (or perhaps had simply never left). Then of course, there\’s single \”Swim\”, which arrives complete with thunderclap drums and a chorus massive enough to swallow the planet. However, it\’s not all glorious pop songs round these parts – although Surfer Blood can certainly lay claim to having perfected the art form – as they have too many other interesting tricks up their sleeve. \”Twin Peaks\” for instance, charts the painful disintegration of a relationship while watching the David Lynch show of the title, while the epic, suitably meandering \”Anchorage\” muses on the vagaries of small-town living, as Pitts sings \”I don\’t wanna spin my wheels/ I don\’t got no wheels to spin\”.
