Let's Work Together was an anachronistic, even primitive r&b album based on the fluke hit of the same name, which makes this the follow-up. Side one consists entirely of roll and rock songs you'd swear you've heard before--"Your Three Letters," eh, and what's this "Let's Stick Together.” Very unprepossessing, very charming. (Robert Christgau, Village Voice)

Today’s Special: Contemporary Surf Rock Small-Timers
DOCTEUR LEGUME ET LES SURFWERKS
Despite what we might assume from the name, this is, in fact, an Italian one-man band. Massimiliano Bocchio is a multi-instrumentalist and producer who’s done everything from electronica to garage rock, but clearly his true calling in life is to become Docteur Legume. The good doctor’s creature creations are full of sleazy surf, raunchy hot rod, spy-fi, spaghetti western, and monster thriller instrumental mayhem, culminating in a pulpy, spacey, shredding mass of awe. This isn’t one of those new-fangled laptop projects either: all the guitars, bass, drums, and organ are real instruments, played and mixed by the man himself. He’s working on new material now, promising “different sonic landscapes… without disappointing the surf fans” – whatever that means in the speakers is unclear, but I’m sure it will be nothing short of incredible.

THE SKURFS
They play surf music but live in ski country, so naturally they call it “skurfing”. The Skurfs hail from Missoula, Montana in the Northern Rockies, where you couldn’t find a surfboard for a thousand miles; luckily, however, guitars and fuzz petals are easy to come by. They play stormy instro surf punk with psych-jam tendencies, even falling into a few twangy tripped-out prog-inspired guitar journeys on occasion.

ANTARCTICATS
From the under-appreciated musical melting pot of Atlanta, Georgia, the Antarcticats play an interesting fusion of surf rock and jump blues/swing jazz, overlayed with indie-style lyrical melodies. Favorites of the underground nightlife scene, they regularly draw crowds in everything from barrooms to concert halls. “Short Stories” is a bit of an outlier in my opinion, leaning heavily into the indie rock spectrum and not really representative of their other material. My advice is: start with “Irregardless” and work your way backward.

THE DEAD BEAT
Fuzzy instrumental surf rock from Ontario, Canada. Their debut lays down rich arrangements with nods to the classics and winks to the revivalists, even slipping-in elements of tiki exotica now and again. They crank it up on the second album, with torrential whitecaps and sneaker waves of high-octane locals-only surf punk. Supposedly there’s also a third “lost” album that they’ve been trying to get out for over a year now, hopefully we’ll see it soon.

THE PHANTOM OPERATORS
Instro surf & spaghetti western from Knoxville, Tennessee, they haven’t been around too long but obviously spend a lot of time in the studio. They’ve got a uniquely laid-back approach, taking the best of Dick Dale and Man Or Astroman, sifting it through a filter of Mermen twang psych, and cutting it with Deadbolt gothabilly rumble. Their spaghetti western material is especially inviting, with rolling sonic vistas of dry gulches & sun-bleached cattle skulls, a mirage oasis on the rolling waves of sand. If you’re just going to audition one album, check out “Metal Mariachi Music” – it’s got the best blend of all the different styles they’ve got happening.

LoFi Larry, thanks a lot for today's surf & spaghetti! FUN,FUN, FUN!
You got it, Ryp! I have a feeling you're gonna dig some of those guys.
On Request:
Music Emporium, Self-Titled (1969/2001 Expanded) 320
http://www7.zippyshare.com/v/2ijODa5l/file.html
Short-lived popsike outfit from Los Angeles, they initially recorded this album as a demo. A local label wanted to do a small run of LPs, so they pressed up 300 copies and the rest is history. Mildly hallucinatory psych rock & popsike with male & female vocals, slightly baroque at times. This Sundazed reissue has five extra instrumental tracks and includes full scans of the 12-page booklet.
Yo ... LoFi
Aloha Moe ... All the Surf "Goodness" will help melt the 30 inches of Snow we got yesterday.
No sidewalk surfing today ... but a whole gaggle of twang to listen to. Mahalo!
Thx Moe
Thanks to all who made the Wilbert available!
Thanks LoFi Larry for the Music Emporium. Love the spelling of the files. Did you used to work for Slade?
@ken49:
I'm glad You do.
If you liked Docteur Legume's music, be sure to check out his videos. They are every bit as trashy & fun as you would expect.

Thanks LoFi for all the cool surf music. This will make a nice soundtrack for watching this winter's storm surf.
Thank you for the Phantom Opertors, LoFi-Larry! Strangely good drumming on this one!
