Beach Fossils - Somersault

Reviewstheneedledrop1 Comment

4 years after Beach Fossils' great sophomore album Clash the Truth, the Brooklyn band has returned with their most lavish effort yet. I can still commend the band for not shamelessly trend-chasing like many of their dreamy, jangly contemporaries, but unfortunately the pastiche of '60s pop sounds they serve up here isn't enough to distract from some pretty bland songwriting.

Stream the new Beach Fossils album in full via the Hype Machine widget above. Though I haven't really been a huge fan of most groups shooting for this guitar-driven dream pop sound, I'm finding this new record to be way more detailed, approachable, and memorable. Of course, it still maintains the intoxicating, fun, and lighthearted sound from the band's previous material, too.
