Available now in a variety of formats for your listening pleasure.
I wouldn't call the whole thing surf, but it's certainly surf influenced, surf infused, surf adjacent ... and was a whole lot of fun to make. Already in progress on the second EP, which I expect to have out before the end of this year.
I'll have the vinyl in my hands probably next week, though I'm telling people those will ship out no later than 1 April - sooner if I get them sooner. CDs and of course digital available now.
Enjoy!

I must like it, ‘cause I just bought a copy. Nice work. I really appreciate the sound you are getting; it’s a pleasant balance of clean and gritty.

I don't mind at all - I got it from a web storehouse of public domain video materials. I remember searching several of them, so I'm not sure any more exactly which one I used, but I know I searched these.
Moving Image Archive: https://archive.org/details/movies
Prelinger Archives: https://archive.org/details/prelinger
National Archives: https://www.archives.gov/ (great for military footage)

I gave this a fresh listen, today, as a soundtrack to my daily bike ride. I really like this, musically, production-wise and the arrangements. One thing I noticed is that, while you have plenty of low notes, the arrangement remains balanced, and doesn’t fall into the trap of being too bassy. Nice work.

Thanks synchro & Pihabeach82! I worked really hard to achieve both of those things - a good balance and some decent fuzz tones.
Believe it or not, the fuzz was a new thing for me. I'm not much of a pedal aficionado and if I had an amp that sounded like that, I'd have it serviced ASAP lol.
For the fuzziest tones, I used a JPTR FX Warlow Fuzz Monstrosity - pretty simple circuit but lots of flexibility.

It is an interesting mix.
