Track by Track Review


Skullbucket dotdotdotdot
Surf (Instrumental)

Low down evil vibrato string bending rumble monster. Dark and brooding, and threatening. Very cool song. Very Link Wray inspired.

Camel Walk dotdotdot
Surf (Vocal)

It's a cover of "Camel Walk" with more chunk and inserted spoken silliness that weren't part of this song written 30 years ago. Fun and demented.

Make Mayan A Hawaiian dotdotdot
Surf (Instrumental)

Smooth swashbucking Polynesian sensibilities over a Latin rhythm track. Really nice track, melodic, and flowing, like a river to the sea.

Galley Slave dotdotdot
Surf (Instrumental)

With Sam Cooke "Chain Gang" grunts, this fine track rolls along through a semi-melodic soundscape accented with damped pickage and surfy reverb. Very nice.
