There are plenty of modern day surf artists that pen songs that have a western twang or take on some South American vibes, but Los Grainders turn the table on their northern counterparts, with a classic approach to surf. Focusing on “that” SoCal sound, this outfit from Mexico City knows their stuff and backs it up with the latest release, Surf Beat ’23. We've teamed up with MuSick Recordings for this Limited Edition red 10" vinyl.
“The guitars sparkle and shine against the backdrop of some mellow basslines and beautiful drum work. The album starts off with the fast-paced Storm Surf and settles into a nice groove, trading tempos back and forth between tracks. The balance makes for a fantastic listen, never falling into one groove. It’s tough to pick a favorite track, but Nomoro with its quick picking is a frontrunner, but I also love the deep and dreamy track Santa Ana Winds. While many surf bands shoot for a traditional surf sound, Los Grainders have done their homework.”

NEW ARTIST SIGNING! Presenting... Mexico City's LOS GRAINDERS! We don't sign many bands to the MuSick label - yes, we're very picky - so when we do, it's a special thing. And Los Grainders are a very special band. Five young and extremely talented musicians from Ciudad De México, Los Grainders approach their love for surf music and instrumental rock with passion, drive and taste. The band's debut album "SURF BEAT '23" (a clever tribute to Jon & The Nightriders' seminal LP from 1980) has some of the most engaging and movin' surf instro music I have heard in ages. "SURF BEAT '23" is now available on Bandcamp where you can buy it and stream it digitally (it's also available on Spotify, Apple Music, etc). Songs like "Sharp Stone" with its intense and dramatic twists and turns, the dark yet beautiful "Santa Ana Winds," the hypnotic and groove-heavy "Deep Grotto," and the melodic and fetching ode to oceanic powers "Shell Pink," are some of the highlights on this brilliant debut album. For those who have to have physical records, we have teamed up with our friends at the TABU RECORDINGS label to co-release the vinyl LP version of "SURF BEAT '23" to be available in 2024 and we can't wait for that. In the meantime, give "SURF BEAT '23" a listen with the links below and dig the deep and reverb-filled sound of LOS GRAINDERS!
