Oregon Bike Trails
Here’s a little lo-fi surf pop from Oregon Bike Trails, the project of Santa Monica’s Zach Yudin. The production is inch perfect capturing the 60s beach vibe that Wavves have made popular over the past year or so. They pull it off better than the majority of the competition. It is however, impossible to write 60s throwback tracks without coming off as, at best, a little contrived, so you’ll have torohypnol your inner cynic before hitting play. Just enjoy it as pure aesthetic.
There are a few tracks available on their bandcamp but it’s ‘Swimsuit’ that’s been lodged deep within the vaulted halls of my brain. That’s probably false from both an architectural and anatomical standpoint but I’m going to stick with it. You can stream and [legally] download Swimsuit below.
