I know it’s the holidays, and that picture goes along well with knit sweaters, the fireplace and a cup of hot cocoa with marshmallows on top, but I live in a tropical country! Despite the cold winds, I still live for surf music – and Cayucas reeks of the ocean, the sand, the waves, and that vintage postcard feel.
A band from California, Cayucas is a trio who just released their debut Bigfoot earlier this year. With 8 tracks of fun and indie pop goodness, it transports you into a place: by the shore with the wind in your hair and sand on your feet – maybe much like the town they named their band after. They toured with Ra Ra Riot earlier this year, too, and are included in Paste’s 50 Best Albums.
If you like summer – or even just the sound of it, then they are definitely worth a listen and keeping your tabs on.
