Beach Music

60sSurfing-web2For our second summer beach mix, we thought we’d pay tribute the 1960s surf sound that is being revived by more than a few of today’s bands. Hazy coastal pop, wavy Fender guitars, cavernous reverb on vocals, and a lo-fi production with a touch of the psychedelic; these retro sounding cuts evoke the heart of The Endless Summer. Clicking on a song will take you to iTunes.
