The Gasolines - Jungle Surfers CD (Reverb Brasil)
Awesome 12 track CD from this new Brazilian surf combo, complete with Martin Denny inspired cover art. In addition to guitar/bass/drums, they add lots of interesting percussion, slide guitar, keyboards and other interesting instrumentation. While this is definitely surf music, it’s mixed with near equal parts of Brazil as well as the sounds of late 50’s exotica. There’s just a touch of ska/dub mixed in as well - definitely something for the more adventurous surf aficionado here. Seldom has a band name given you a more accurate description of what a band’s music sounds like!
