"The Surf The Sundried" is project by multi instrumentalists Nick Huntington (Freescha, Canyon Country) and Emmett Kelly (The Cairo Gang, Charlemaignes). Though Freescha is known for their Californian brand of organic electronics, there is nary an electronic instrument to be found in these recordings. Much like the all handcrafted elements of The Surf The Sundried's cover art, they have used their hands to draw sounds from wood. Written and recorded over a period of three weeks in their home studio, these songs capture the initial spark of their immediate inspiration. Sometimes folk, sometimes rock. Instrumental passages and songs by the ocean, under the sun. Delicate finger picking, buzzing guitars, melodicas, harmonicas, recorders, mellotrons, and twinkling pianos to pluck out the lights. Strings detuned, guitars worn and aged well. Songs to guide you down the river. There is a lazy Summer's day quality to the music. You would think there is a full band playing live as there is a very natural, organic flow to the music. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/the+surf+the+sundried">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
