Pulp’s Mini Guide to Summer Vibes, All Year ‘Round…
Do you guys know about surf music?
We think you might. But, let's refresh your memory:
Surf music is a genre of rock and roll that emerged in the early 1960s, heavily influenced by the surf culture of Southern California. It's characterised by its distinctive reverb-heavy electric guitar sounds, often used to evoke the feeling of crashing waves.
Key characteristics of surf music?! Listing them now!
Electric guitar, often with heavy use of spring reverb (created by Fender amplifiers and reverb units).
A medium to fast tempo, with a strong, driving rhythm.
Usually in 4/4 time signature.
A catchy, melodic guitar lines and vocal harmonies.
Lyrics often focus on surfing, beach life, and related themes
Some Surf Music Artists we rate are The Beach Boys, The Drums, Hockey Dad, Beach Fossils, Allah-Las, King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard, Pixies and Diiv. Stoked!
But, it doesn’t have to be all about the beach. Put your headphones on and be instantly transported back to a perfect 28-degree, sunny day.
Shielding your eyes from the glare of the sun, bookmarking your favourite novel by the pool or beach, or stretching out on some lush Summer grass at the park. The wind chill is zero. In fact, it’s more like a gentle, easy breezy hairdryer.
Somehow, the music in your ears brings these things to life, even when you need two pairs of trackie pants to keep warm at night.
