Like the robin that signals the beginning of spring, Beach Fossils’ announcement of their upcoming EP for Captured Tracks must surely be one of this crazy world’s best harbingers of summer fun. Technically, said new EP comes out in March, which isn’t really summer unless you live in some magical, perpetually warm place like say, the Bahamas or Mexico, or maybe if you’re one of those weird sophomore dudes who wears shorts even in December and seem to infest college campuses across the Midwest. Whatever. Because, come March 8, when Captured Tracks releases What a Pleasure, it won’t matter that summer is like three months away. Tossing a beach ball! Roastin’ weenies! Being grossed out at dead fish on the beach! Those are the sights you’ll envision once Beach Fossils have their way with your ears.
You can catch Beach Fossils main dudes Dustin Payseur and John Peña at SXSW this spring. Fun fact: the CD EP contains one more track than the fancy vinyl EP.
