Description:

Beach Fossils, who helped shape the Brooklyn indie scene in the 2010s, release their 4th album, their first original album in 6 years since their 3rd album "Somersault" was released in 2017! Somersault" is a departure from the 2010s Brooklyn sound synonymous with "Captured Tracks" that Beach Fossils and DIIV, helmed by former member Zachary Cole Smith, have been creating up to that point. The new pop-ness, neo-acoustic and guitar-pop sounds that actively incorporate strings and other elements, and the vocal skills of Dustin Payseur, who has matured to the point of being almost unrecognizable, have successfully taken listeners into a sweet and comforting dream world. This album is a masterpiece that combines the new direction expressed after "Somersault" with indie-pop songs that bring the band back to those days because they have matured "now.The album opens with "Sleeping On My Own," a nostalgic song with shimmering guitars and Dustin Payseur's nostalgic and emotional vocals that sticks in the back of your mind, followed by "Run To The Moon," a gentle indie pop song that will make you feel as calm as a fireplace warming a freezing winter. The third track, "Don't Fade Away," is a dreamy song reminiscent of the band's early indie sound, but the band's maturity is evident in the intensity of the vocals and instrumentalists that make the song captivating rather than vigorous. The sixth track, "Dare Me," also shows the band's maturity, as the band succeeds in taking the pop melody lines that were refined on the third album and putting them on the sound that Beach Fossils excelled at in the early days of their career.The second half of the album includes "Tough Love," the most Beach Fossils-like song on the album, and the epic shoegaze song "Numb," which is a gentle and emotional song filled with both the old Beach Fossils and the new Beach Fossils. This is a masterpiece that will hit indie listeners squarely in the face!
