Phil Dirt - Reverb Central - PO Box 1609, Felton, CA 95018-1609 USA  | These three demos from Outerwave show great reverence for traditional surf, and display the tribal rhythms of the genre very well. Rich and rewarding! |
Picks: Malibu Run, Pintor, Jack The Ripper
Track by Track Review
Surf (Instrumental)
Randy Holden's wonderful ska influenced surf epic is very nicely done by Outerwave here. It's more percussive, but otherwise very reverent to the Fender Four original. Excellent!
Surf (Instrumental)
Jack Irvin's "Pintor" is well done, with more of an eye on surf whammy and richness than the Pharos' version. It engages you, and seems very immediate. Nice track.
Surf (Instrumental)
Thundering tom toms drive a tribal rhythm in deep rich tonal territory. The guitar shimmers and throbs as required. Simple, but very effective! Uncle Link's power bar instro always rocks.
