Here's a new video put together by fellow member El Guapo from The Terrorsurfs. This song has been around a while but we liked it so much we thought it should have it's own video. The song is off our 2nd album - Futourism.
Here's what our good friend Ivan has to say about it...
“The Man Who Couldn't Tell Time” – I’ve known this song for quite a while now as it was included on a Continental compilation, but I loved it the first time I heard it, and today it’s simply one of my all-time favorite surf songs by anybody! Love the backwards effects, the creepy atmosphere accented by occasional organ chords and undergirded by a spy-ish bass riff. The lengthy bridge is a thing of wonder, especially how it keeps building until it gets to the final part where it sounds like the dimension of time turns in on itself! It’s just three descending chromatic chords combined with the snare playing smaller subdivisions of the beat and seasoned again with a dash of that psychedelic phaser effect, simple, but OH SO EFFECTIVE! It probably would have been best left unanalyzed, and just revel in the wonder of it all, but damn, too late! The whole track sounds like it would make a perfect theme for a Hitchcock time-travel murder mystery (and I’m guessing the boys knew it, making the title a sly reference to Hitchcock’s The Man Who Knew Too Much).

Much of the footage on this video was shot by Darren Kruger, who's excellent surf music videos are always much appreciated. There is other footage from our appearance at Surfer Joe in 2012, much thanks to those videographers as well.

Great video and great tune. I really like the mid tempo groove you guys achieve on this. Have an excellent European tour!

Very cool Danny. The video kind of completes the song. Those are some great performance clips and the backwards running clock gives it a hint of Sci-Fi.

Wow, psychedelic, baby! An amazing assembly of talent there, and that Jazzmaster sounded perfect in every way.
