Beach Fossils - “Daydream”

Some musical combinations make intuitive sense, like rappers who can’t sing and Auto-Tune, for example. But others don’t make sense until you hear them, like surf music and fuzz-rock. Thankfully, Beach Fossils (Dustin Payseur’s one-man band) is proving to me that this combination isn’t as nutty as it sounds.

This track from the Beach Fossils starts with a great surfy, summery guitar/bass hook the music reminds me a bit of the Crystal Stilts. However, it’s not until you get to the vocals that Beach Fossils becomes truly interesting. Sounding like they’ve been run through a combination distortion/delay filter, the vocals sound like little else I can recall. The combination of minimally-fuzzy, surfy music with distorted vocals is an oddly relaxing yet moody combination that I’m coming back to more often than I expected. I haven’t heard of any album/EP plans from Beach Fossils, but I’m definitely on the look out if anyone knows something I don’t.
