Surfer Blood's first full-length release just came out, and it's getting <a href="http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/13844-astro-coast/" target="new">very good reviews</a>. They sound like a blend of The Shins (vocals, melodies), The Wedding Present (guitars) and maybe a little Pavement.
Amazon is selling the LP in MP3 format for $5.99 -- a great deal for a very good recording from a promising new band. They're touring the US - check the band's <a href="http://www.myspace.com/surferblood" target="_new2">MySpace page</a> for dates-- they'll be in NYC at the end of February, including a free in-store concert at Other Music.

I have definitely added Surfer Blood to my agenda at SXSW. Really liking their laid-back but still-crunchy sound. Jesus H they're young.

Definitely one of the best 1st half of any album I've heard recently. They sold out before I could get tix to see them last Sunday. I'm sure they'll be back soon now that their popularity is surging.
