Heaven Surrounds You, Surf Curse, LP

Departing from the oberblown visceral sound of previous Surf Curse records, 2019's Heaven Surrounds Youis a bold step towards HIFI for the Los Angeles DIY scene veterans. The polished orchsetral production and driving cinematic moments would feel at home in any of the cult films that inspired the album's coming-of-age stories. Lyrically, the record finds the duo returningto themes of love, loss and mystery veiled beneath more symbolism and mysticism creating their most emotionally poignant record to date. One ingredient the band doesn't change is the earworm guitar melodies and massive hooks that have always fueled their famously raucuous live shows.
