Surf Rock dominated
by the musical impressions of sand, sun, and crashing waves,
sneaking in the occasional odd time signature, and using the
cavernous roar of the mighty reverb tank.
The album starts off in a decidedly retro-esque Dick Dale / Pulp
Fiction vein with "Gumby Goes Green" and then immediately takes a left turn with
the more progressive "Huckster", featuring a lengthy drum solo workout, and a
surreal space jam. Other tracks, like the psychedelic "Mermaid in Japan",
venture into Mermen territory by way of Pink Floyd - you can almost get stoned
just by listening, and you can almost hear the guitar pick disintegrating. The
moody riff of "Labyrinth" is reminiscent of early King Crimson's more
mathematical moments, adding the pomp and big chord drama of progressive metal
during the transitions. The album ends by returning to a more traditional surf
sound with "Skyhawk Beach" and the punk-inspired "Road Hazard".
