Surfer Blood, Sound of Ceres


Mild-mannered Florida quartet Surfer Blood gained traction just before the turn of the decade with its ostensibly surf-inspired take on guitar pop. After a breakout year following the release of its debut album, 2010’s Astro Coast, the band landed a deal with Warner Bros. Records. Surfer Blood has most recently released a third full-length, 1000 Palms, via Joyful Noise Recordings. It’s an especially subdued album given the fact that longtime guitarist Thomas Fekete had to part ways with the band shortly before its release last year after a cancer diagnosis. Soldiering on, the group is currently on tour with labelmate Sound of Ceres, which features members of the Apples in Stereo and the Drums.
