The Brooklyn surf-rock trio gambled with a post-punk dissonance on their sophomore album, 2013’s Clash the Truth. They flip the script once more in Somersault, a delectable chamber-pop set augmented by sax, piano, jazz flute and string arrangements. Their first release on frontman Dustin Payseur’s own label, Bayonet Records, the band’s range grows most elastic in the symphonic “Saint Ivy.” Memphis rapper Cities Aviv lends an all-too-fleeting cool in “Rise.”
Beach Fossils “Tangerine” from their album “Somersault” out June 2nd, 2017
I actually wasn’t expecting to like the third Beach Fossils album after the lull of their second one, but they sound reinvigorated on their new label for their third album. The album features a guest appearances from Slowdive’s Rachel Goswell, rapper Cities Aviv, and gauzy pop influenced by High Llamas, the Bee Gees and Burt Bacharach.
