I've detected a bit of a backlash in the mindiesphere against bands with "Beach" in their name. If you've been reading this blog for any length of time, though, then you know I love some shoegazey, surfy sounding music. Earlier this month, Beach Fossils released "Careless" from their upcoming Clash the Truth (February 19th on modern bastion of shoegaze and dream pop, Captured Tracks).
I really enjoyed Beach Fossils' 2010 self-titled debut, especially single "Youth." Back then, Beach Fossils was the solo recording project of Dustin Payseur. Payseur put together a band for the tour that included Zachary Cole Smith of DIIV.
For Clash the Truth, he's added a full-time drummer and enlisted Ben Greenberg of The Men to produce. Greenberg had a hand in two of my favorite records of 2012 (The Men's Open Your Heart and as producer on Sleepies' Weird Wild World), and I'd guess that his presence on Clash the Truth would bring more of an edge to Payseur's sound. I think it's there on "Careless."
