Surfer Blood Astro Coast [Reissue] [MP3]

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "'Swim' is the monster riff-geek odyssey, complete with an Afro-pop breakdown that turns into a gorgeous distortion convulsion..."
"[With] crunchy riffs, sunny harmonies, inscrutable humor, occasional strings, and Afropop touches."
3 stars out of 5 -- "Opener 'Floating Vibes' sounds like the Cure if Robert Smith had been raised on a beach..."
3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's the sunny, clever hooks (recalling early Weezer and the Shins) and tropical rhythms setting the scene."
"ASTRO COAST is chaotic fun with a West Coast vibe....Sung with infectious passion."
4 stars out of 5 -- "'Floating Vibes' adds Pavement angularity to some Pixies-like surfin' reverberations..."
Pitchfork (Website) - "This is a great guitar album in the way Weezer's Blue Album, Built to Spill's KEEP IT LIKE A SECRET, or, more recently, Japandroids' POST-NOTHING are: six-strings serve as a multiplier for hooks..."
