4. Freaks // Surf Curse
Hailing from the state of Nevada, USA, Surf Curse remain relatively unknown, despite relentless gigging and songs that follow the recipe for summery-indie-rock perfectly.
‘Freaks’ off their 2013 release, Buds, holds a snappy guitar lick throughout, accompanied by repetitive thumping drums, all of which is met with angst-y vocals and a lifting chorus.
The Lo-fi recording of the track is also one of its many assets as it fits the mood of it perfectly, creating a forlorn atmosphere in contrast with the upbeat instrumentals.
