Sant Anna Bay Coconuts

Review by Storm Surge Of Reverb (USA)

<< It's become clear to me that some recording engineers don't "get" surf. Whoever recorded this group really gets it, and this trad surf combo is a great band to demonstrate it. The guitar tone on here is the stuff. On "The Transporter" you hear licks that a seasoned surf fan should be familiar with, but there's a low-end heft to that sound that really reminds you why people play that way -- and of course that's backed up by a wall of sound from the rhythm guitar. Or maybe to put it simply, they can play Margaya and it actually holds a candle to the original. Musically, these guys are all surf; no trifling with Spaghetti Western or anything, and they wield their big sound imposingly. I've listened to this the whole way through several times in the two days it's been out. Go! >>
