The thin whir of small pieces of metal rapidly moving across other small pieces of metal bounced off the surf and echoed around the empty beach, inundating the air with wall upon wall of rippling mechanical activity.
The sun bounced from their metallic skin to the shimmering water and back again, turning shades of purple and blue and white with brief flashes of colors that have never been seen on this planet.
The ocean spray whipped around their motionless forms, splashed against their broad backs, into their open unseeing eyes, and across their slack unmoving lips. As the spray touched them, the water droplets exploded into gently fading clouds of steam. Around them the water started slowly bubbling.
Finally, the last one started whirring.
One by one, they blinked.
One by one, they took a step forward, in terrifying and beautiful unison.
The Delstroyers are one of the most awesome surf bands on the planet. I've heard them preview some of these songs live, and they blew my socks off! The single "Bomb Bomb" is incredible! Can't wait to hear the complete new album. Robbie Reverb
Although I normally like to play music in mixes of 3-5 artists at a time, the "long track" on this album actually works better than all the songs played separately and mixed with other music. Some great psychedelic and surf guitar work on here. If you like this, try Golden Dawn Arkestra and Ouzo Bazooka. xpatofthemind
Some sweet hollow grinders on this set!! Great originals and covers represented here! Keepin' it nice and surfy in Canada. A solid album that has ten toes over through most every tune! Kahuna Cole
The debut LP from Kioea is dreamy psychedelic surf music that calls back to the '60s while feeling remarkably contemporary. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 22, 2023
