Biography

Brooklyn NY, United States (2009 – present)

The jangly, self-recorded ramblings of Brooklyn’s Dustin Payseur, Beach Fossils offers hauntingly catchy tunes that blend the energy of an impulsive road trip with the melodious wandering of a lucid dream. Sun drenched riffs, kaleidoscopic rhythms and hazy lyrics saturate Beach Fossils’ first release, a s/t album with a carefree vibe perfectly summed up through song titles such as “Daydream,” “Vacation,” and “Lazy Day.”

Beach Fossils’ debut 7” was released by Captured Tracks in Winter 2009, followed by their first full-length LP in May 2010, and the What a Pleasure EP in 2011. They are currently at work on a full-length album to be released later this year, whose lead single appears on the Shallow 7”.

Aside from founder Payseur, each band member is currently working on his own side project, as of early 2012: guitarist Zachary Cole Smith now heads up a side project, DIIV; bassist John Peña’s solo project is Heavenly Beat; and drummer Tommy Gardner’s is Crush. Former guitarist Christopher Sennott Burke is currently working on his own side project, Fabric.

    This is a band to listen in certain places , if i listen to them in my pc they're kinda boring sometimes, but when im on the street or the beach it sounds like the most beautiful thing ever.

    I agree with Pitchfork from time to time about most their reviews, they've lead me to some pretty good music. But man, they couldn't be more wrong about Clash the Truth. It's my favorite album of the year so far.

    Beach Fossils are so dreamy and I'm upset I'll be gone when they come to my city.

    http://besttuna.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/BeachFossils.html Beach Fossil's Clash The Truth sounds like a Sarah Records supergroup covering Pretty Vacant with the bile surgically removed and replaced by Truvia®.
