Have you ever heard a new track
and played it to the death? Normally it’s a catchy chorus led pop song which is
guilty of being so easy to listen to but ‘Zen A’ captures a nostalgic moment in
a rush of electronic releases.
Kevnin Pariso and Joel Witenberg make
up Surf Rock Is Dead:
one half Chicago windy city and one half Melbourne (likewise.) Their
creations do prove that surf rock is not dead
– but think more shoegaze than Beach Boys.
The music is deep and perceptive:
crooning “I never meant for you to leave”at the start of the song gradually
develops into an instrumental crescendo that makes its repetition at the end
even more sentimental.
Fans of fellow Brooklyn-based
bands Real Estate and High Highs will
be fans of the ambient electric guitar paired with wistful lyrics. ‘Zen A’
is a little slower and deeper than previous SRiD tracks which makes the
prospect of an upcoming EP even more exciting: will a Zen B feature?
