Surfer Blood have shaken things up.
The band have signed to Fierce Panda, with new album '1000 Palms' due to be released on May 11th.
Intoxicating new track 'I Can't Explain' is online now, a gorgeous return which matches languid guitars against a nagging, infectious hook.
"I Can't Explain is one of our most collaborative efforts to date," explains Surfer Blood's John Paul Pitts. "The hook just came to us one day in the practice space and we wrote the rest of the song around it. The lyrics (by Kevin Williams) tell the story of a romantic encounter on a New Year's Eve past and build slowly with the rest of the song. I've always been keen on a long instrumental outro, so this seemed like the perfect spot for a long, jammy guitar section – a place for us to get some Yo La Tengo/Built to Spill guitar fetishizing out of our system."
A slacker epic, you can dive in below.
