Surf Vietnam Latest Single “October Baseball”

Surf Vietnam’s latest single “October Baseball”, from their album Funambulism, is a call back to the 1960’s beach music.  The single is also a story driven piece that talks about a dream of playing baseball for the character of the song and him finally taking a chance at it.  Technically the vocals could have been layered more prominently in the single.  The instruments at times overpowered the vocalist, which could have been intentional with the style of music they were going for.  The ending of the song shifts gears on listeners, but it stays within the same decade of music, to a “sock hop” feel.  Since this transition was within the same decade of music styles it didn’t bother me much.  With the World Series just under way “October Baseball” from Surf Vietnam seemed natural so enjoy it through BandCamp – Richard:
