Beach fossils have truly mastered and captured the art of nostalgia in their instrumentation unlike any other band I’ve heard before. That’s what makes them special
Fun fact, Zachary and Dustin were in a side project called Shitfather, along with Jack Tatum of Wild Nothing and also Mac Demarco. Go look up ‘setting fire to your house’
Winter 2014~2015: I was studying abroad in Syracuse-US. Such a wonderful experience to see, walk, play around and get annoyed by snow. Certainly, beign away from home, friends and everything I was close to was a big event in my life. I learnt a lot about myself. This song was the most played from my Spotify playlist -- and one of the most watched in youtube. This video is breathtaking. The melody today is full of nostalgia.
Always forget who I am Can't say I try and understand And when I try it out with you Now I'm okay if you are too We can only try to stay alive What are you to do at twenty-five? And when they ask all the time Say I'm doing just fine Close your eyes and tell me how you feel Can you feel the truth and is it real? We can only try to stay alive What are you to do at twenty-five?
Well, the melodies might express something already heard but the sound is unique, the balance of the reverb is greatly agenced and the support of the drums clearly give a dance measure to all this. One more thing to say: ViVA Beach Fossils.
Because indie is a very ambiguous genre.Unlike the late 80s and early 90s when there was a genre and name for everything (Shoegaze, Greebo, Math Rock, Acid, Manchester Rock...etc) Indie, and Alternative Rock is just a complete mix of musical styles that people can't pin as rock, pop (even though all non-experimental or classical music is technically pop), rap, R&B, hip hop, country, folk, ethnic or bluegrass and so on. Indie has nothing or little to do with it.
ikr all the bands i like have alot of good song but shitty songs too. I love all the songs by the beach fossils and I'm not just saying that because imma slave to the band. I never thought i'd come come across a band with no shitty songs. Amazing!
Though few of these bands actually are independent. Radiohead are actually an independent band. I could go on forever explaining why people like certain types of music as opposed to others, but I really don't have time and I doubt anyone really cares haha.
he kinda has a point. I feel like one of the reasons it was so good to be a white middle class american in that time, was because they didn't have to worry about much. You could live a chill, prosperous life and no one interfered with that. A white guy had the privilege to boss around a black guy without any repercussion. But now, we got black lives matter, a new wave of feminism, trump, people rioting against the rich, rape culture, and the list goes on.
Tennis and The Drums have way more strong songs than Beach Fossils. I haven't found a strong song from Beach Fossils yet. They're ok. This is the best one of theirs I've heard so far, but still below The Drums and Tennis in songsmithery.
