Nicole Damoff (guitar), Shermy Freeman (guitar), Sarah Butler (bass) and Annie Lillis (drums) of The Surfrajettes continue the party they started in an old roller rink – captured on 2022’s Roller Fink LP – in a pastel-colored diner. Under the apt title Easy as Pie, the Toronto quartet serves up twelve new instrumental surf tunes that are alternately sweet and fresh. Some of them are surprising covers – Hot Doggin (The Astronauts), Clam Chowder (The Sadies), Spice Up Your Life (Spice Girls), Instant Coffee (The Jokers) and Lee Hazelwood’s Sugar Town (Nancy Sinatra) – for which they follow the recipes of others but give them their own twist, fitting seamlessly between the delicious original treats. So much fun that it’s tempting to go for another round.

Easy as Pie, produced by Colin Cripps, is out now digitally, on CD and vinyl LP, through Hi-Tide Recordings.
