Drifting Sand - Summer Splash CD (Pina Colada)
Based in California, Drifting Sand have been longtime faves at beach parties, nightclubs and summer shindigs for the past 20 years or so. They’ve been somewhat of a rarity - a modern surf band that focuses primarily on vocals, ala the Beach Boys or Jan & Dean. They aren’t purely a nostalgia act though - while some songs definitely sound as if they could have been on any number of early 60’s albums or comps, there are also tunes that take the influence of surf and meld it with a more modern, almost indie rock sound. To fully enjoy this album you need to be a fan of the surf vocals, HOWEVER, there are three awesome instros here!
