Surfer Blood vs. The Animals

I think this might only be here because  I’ve listened to Surfer Blood‘s  debut album “Astro Coast” (2010) so much. Ok, it’s only four chords but the tempo and rhythm is just so similar I just couldn’t ignore it. Check out The Animals “We Gotta Get out of This Place”  along with “Twin Peaks” (2010).

Surfer Blood - "Twin Peaks" (2010)

The Animals - "We Gotta Get out of This Place" (1965)

And for absolutely no other reason than the fact that the chorus is awesome:

Note: “We Gotta Get out of This Place” was originally written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. You can hear a demo version here:

Florida’s Surfer Blood put out a great debut album this year. There are a few parts on there that I just can’t shake. The following is for their track “Harmonix”.

The guitar harmonics part reminds me so much of Arcade Fire’s 2005 track “Neighborhood #2 (Laïka)”. Check it out:

I probably wouldn’t have posted this one but since one of Surfer Blood’s tracks is entitled “Twin Peaks” I figured there was something there. Here’s the ending half of “Harmonix” with a great part in the Twin Peaks theme. This is also the second time the Twin Peaks theme has made it to the site.
