[Popfrenzy : 2010]Like the word ‘Wolf’ before it, ‘Beach’ has become one of the more popular words used in band names of late, bringing with it a “wave” of summery laidback tunes perfect for oceanside reclining - and Beach fossils is no exception.
Their debut album is filled with lo-fi, twanging guitar tunes that will inspire you to reach for the closest hammock, shut your eyes and wile away the hazy afternoon. By no means is this Beach Fossils another standard ‘chill out’ album, though. It’s definitely got a coastal feel but also has the reverb-heavy pop style and effortless, echoing vocals that sits well amongst the late eighties / early nineties shoe gaze / garage era - if it was hanging out on the sunny shores of LA in the 1960s.
Like one of our other favourite records of 2010, Beach House’s Teen Dream, Beach Fossils have put out a dreamy, dusky, warm and – yeah - beachy debut LP. One of the year’s best.
