SOMERSAULT
by BEACH FOSSILS


"The album is so different from their last album."


BEACH FOSSILS 3RD ALBUM
RELEASED ON 2017

It took 4 years to complete the long awaited 3rd LP for Beach Fossils. For me, he has done a great job with the album, he has matured, lyrically and musically. Don't be shocked, because the album is sooo different from their last album, Clash The Truth, their addition of orchestra sounds to the album make "Somersault" sound elegant. After the drummer (Tommy) left the band to fulfill his dreams of living in China, the beat of the drums are not as energetic as they were in Clash The Truth, but it's still very enjoyable. Just listen to the song in the video, "Saint Ivy", which has Whitney-esque drums and you might be surprised with the guitar solo at the end of the song, it sounds like George Harrison took the part! Again you'll be surprised while listening to "Rise", as when i listened to it for the first time, i thought my Spotify shuffled to one of Frank Ocean's songs! They featured Cities Aviv for the song. Geez, for me it's brilliant to put the song in the middle of the album, the duration is not too long and not too short. If you miss the jangly guitar from Clash The Truth, you can listen to "Be Nothing". Last but not least, it's brilliant to put "That's All for Now" as the last track, because you know, that's all for now. Final Verdict : 3.75/5 Recommended Tracks: Tangerine (feat. Rachel Goswell of Slowdive!), Saint Ivy, Social Jetlag, Rise.
