Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as a quick follow-up to their explosive breakthrough singles, this collection offers a broad survey of the reverb-heavy instrumental rock vocabulary. The record balances aggressive, drum-heavy onslaughts with surprisingly nuanced, melodic fretwork. 'The Surfaris Play' effectively proved that the group's chaotic energy could be sustained over the span of a full-length studio release.
