Impala "In the Late Hours" 2020

A surf quartet hailing from Memphis, TN, Impala has issued four full-length albums (El Rancho Reverbo, Square Jungle, Play R&B Favorites, and Teenage Tupelo Movie Soundtrack), as well as an EP (Kings of the Strip).
Impala is generally described as a group of authentic surf revivalists, but that's not quite right. From the outset, you could hear ominous traces of murder-jazz, drag-strip rave-ups, and raunchy, sax-driven stripper music. Melodies were often sacrificed for moods that made the air seem heavy and humid. If you came of age in Memphis in the 1990s, the Oblivians and the Grifters were writing your soundtrack, but Impala scored the incidental music, with saxophone riffs to highlight the comedy, hot guitar runs for the excitement, and melancholic R&B for the darker moments.
