Video: Surfer Blood – Swim (To Reach The End)

February 1, 2010

I feel sort of ashamed that it took me this long to catch on to this band, but I’m glad I finally gave in and listened to Surfer Blood’s fantastic debut album, Astro Coast. The Florida indie rockers follow the lead of recent debuts from Japandroids and Cymbals Eat Guitars in their reverb-heavy garage rock revival. “Swim (To Reach The End)” is the first single and the song simply kills, with a huge fist-pumping guitar riff, infectious sing-a-long chorus, and an awesome mid-song Tropicália-like break-down. It’s quickly becoming one of my most-played tracks of the year.

The music video features the band on what’s presumably a standard day for them, romping around their home state in their underwear, running into old people and Disney characters (token Florida hallmarks) and then jamming out a club. Video is embedded above, download the track below.
