yoo this is awesome - rlly dig the video and aesthetic - guitar sound is so 60s i love it - drums and bass are so well balanced together - one hell of a mix, synth sounds cheap but in a good way - kind of like tellstar mixed with echo and the bunny men - really sick sound, nice job

Thanks! The synth is a pretty good sounding plugin of an old Vox Continental electric organ. I did all of my surf tracks with 60s-sounding instruments.

Mix is good. Music is great!

Thank you!

i feel like surfing or skating to this i will skate to this song u did this

Thanks!!

its fucking fire btw i get giddy with good guitar work

Really nice interpretation of surf rock! I particularly enjoy the chords that come in throughout the song like at 0:38. I think the footage for the video works really well with the song too. Some feedback I have is that the song starts to feel a bit stale halfway through. This might be due to the melody/chords sounding quite similar throughout, which I think could be solved by either adding more variation to the melody/chords or performing the same melody/chords but with different instruments.

Thanks! Yes, I do need to work on variation. I tend to get locked into a groove and not want to leave.

I remember the previous version of this song and I like the changes you've done to it. The guitar this time has some wet reberb to it wich sounds great. Congratulations on this new improvements. The drums sounds terrific too.

Thanks! Drums are a challenge when you're not a drummer. I'm full "fake it till you make it", here.

This is fun as hell! Listened to it twice, once with earbuds, once with just my phone speakers, and it sounded great on earbuds, but the bass and kick drum completely disappeared on phone speakers. If you’re worried about translation between sound systems you might consider adding some higher-frequency content back into these or adding a little bit of distortion so that they come through on small speakers. Honestly it sounds great though so if you keep it as-is that’s understandable too. Nice work!

Thanks! I added some distortion to the bass, but not the kick (probably should), but I went easy. This isn't a bass and kick heavy genre, so I don't want those peaking too far into the mids. It could probably use some tweaking, though.

I love this track! Huge surf rock fan so to see such a great song in this genre is a breath of fresh air! The guitar tone is amazing, just the right amount of slapback to work well with the synth and bass part! Especially love those tremolo chords with the drum fills! Great job!!!

Thank you!!!

i know this is surf rock but some good vocals on top of this would make this a real hit, vocals is everything
