The resurgence of surf music in indie rock is an odd, but mostly wonderful, thing. After all, it’s one of the few styles that hasn’t been reinvented to death by subsequent generations of bands after its early-‘60s heyday; by the time the Beach Boys started making albums like Pet Sounds, they were retreating from the beach. Surfer Blood are from Florida -- not exactly the best place to hang ten, despite the tropical weather. However, on Astro Coast they take the sweet melodies of surf-pop to heart, evoking other California boys like Weezer and Pavement with big drums and riffs that dive right into the instant gratification center of the brain.
