Track by Track Review
Surf (Instrumental)
Vibrato shimmer, rich tone, ambient drums, and a fluid lead melody line. I'm not sure I hear the tuna connection, but then how important is that. A rockabilly beat backs up a post surf melody with real charm and watery feel. Twang, whammy, and a playful optimistic coastal power.
Jack The Ripper, Parts 1 and 2 Surf (Instrumental)
A backwoods variant of the classic Link Wray tune. Tribal drums, tortured guitar, big chord twang, dissonant derivations, and an intense original surf jam on whole wheat mid stream. Thickly reverbed flying finger squirrely fun. Past the fade, it comes back full feedback ugly like Blue Cheer doing it... an unusual rendering.
Ugly Surf (Instrumental)
Ugly, fast, evil Batman-ish weirdness... almost like fingernails on the blackboard of surf. Totally strange.
Surf (Instrumental)
Ultra intense chicken boppin' telegraph rock, furiously guitar bashin' without benefit of melody. Just fast fingers and distortion twang.
Surf (Instrumental)
"California Sun" drums play underneath a fine surf guitar melody. Brooding and double picked, with a charming vibrato break augmented with the vocal hollering of Mary Huff. Very fun track.
