Longboards, The
Naked Jungle (10")
EP on 10-inch 45 rpm vinyl with six high-voltage instro-surf shell bombs for true surf music lovers. The Longboards offer a feast of solid surf instruments and a pure sound recorded with 50s and 60s equipment to recreate the atmosphere of the original surf era. Naked Jungle is the seventh studio release from this instrumental surf power trio. An album in which they make it clear that they are not a pale imitation of something that has gone on before. On the contrary, they vindicate and demonstrate that they have enough originality to create something new and fresh. Six tracks, six, that are inspired by the greatness of the surfer guitar. Cool retro sounds full of reverb, with wild guitars and solid rhythms. The Longboards have been around for over two decades, and it shows. Electrifying, dizzying and seamless, they are fanatical about using vintage guitars and amps to achieve a totally original sound. Wicked, high-octane riffs, dynamic bass lines and the insane clatter of cymbals on the drum kit mark The Longboards' sets, and it's all contained in the six tracks on Naked Jungle. A feast of solid surf instrumentals and pure sound recorded with 50s and 60s material to recreate the atmosphere of the original surf era. All this in a neat 10-inch vinyl edition, produced in Los Angeles (USA) by David Klein and with cover art by the great Mik Baro.
