Given the sheer number of cool surf rock releases that come out weekly, it seems the genre is more alive than ever, after 60 years. For example, listen to the self-titled debut LP by Italian four-piece Wave Electric. The 13 original, almost entirely instrumental songs by Mattia Dambrosio (guitars), Alessandro Maderna (guitars), Carlo Leonello Uberti (bass) and Andrea Bonzini (drums) are truly original. You can hear they had a lot of fun recording. These tunes are never boring, but surprisingly versatile and exciting, with amazing melodies, clever twists and catchy hooks – from Berlin to the moon and back via the shore.
Wave Electric’s self-titled debut album is out now digitally and on vinyl LP through MuSick Recordings.
