Single// Beach Fossils – Shallow

From the very beginning, the new track from Beach Fossils makes it presents the obvious fact that they fall into Brooklyn, New York’s indie scene. From the vaguely fuzzy guitar riff, straight into the jolty fills and trippy vocals that retain an ounce of 1960’s pop sensibility, carrying the single.

Achieving a sound similar to that of their local contemporaries – The Drums, if they were to dabble in an intake of hallucogenic drugs and introduce a melancholic lo-fi approach to their writing process.

The definite standout point of the track is the use of the woozy twee pop hooks that pull themselves into your mind and clog your brain with an air of New-Wave insouciance from across the pond. Nicely filling the gap between their debut album release and the upcoming Long Play addition.
