Beach Fossils Essentials

Beach Fossils Essentials

Spinning wistful reflections into glistening guitar-pop is the secret to Beach Fossils' breathy ambush. Born as a solo project for Dustin Payseur, the Brooklyn quartet have remained remarkably consistent in sound, even as members have signed off to start up equally appealing bands like DIIV and Heavenly Beat. The constants include a hazy coat of reverb, a driving pulse anchored by New Order-ish bass and a generous spread of Byrds-via-Smiths jangle. It's melancholy made bouncy, neatly bridging the swooning dreaminess of the '60s and '80s.
