Surfer Blood "Swim (To Reach the End"

"Swim (To Reach the End)", off their forthcoming self-released debut, Astro Coast, is pure left coast-- from the echoing Brian Wilson harmonies to the Weezer-esque power pop chorus. California dreams are almost as old as California itself, but to their credit or naiveté, Surfer Blood play transparency as an asset, even as they use their source material to flirt with stadium-sized swells. Any surfer will tell you the thrill is really all in the chase, and true to form "Swim" lets you know what they're after even if it remains just out of reach.
