Heaven Surrounds You (LP)
Surf Curse
Amoeba Review
07/28/2020
Jangle meets surf meets garage rock in Surf Curse’s excellent, appropriately-titled Heaven Surrounds You. Fans of lo-fi, rough-and-ready rock ’n’ roll will certainly luxuriate in this swooning, revved up album. Rich in post-punk-style melancholy and nostalgia beneath the catchy riffs, the songwriting is smart and catchy as hell. Perhaps some of that sense of longing and looking back comes from the album’s inspiration, which some of the song names hint at, the coming-of-age flicks of years gone by. Cinematic in sound as well as in scope, Heaven Surrounds You sounds like a sleeper hit. Don’t hit snooze on this excellent record!
