Surfer Blood have announced their new album and major label debut Pythons, will be released this summer via Warner Bros Records. The first song off the album, entitled “Weird Shapes” premiered today on the band’s website.
Pitts,Thomas Fekete (guitar), Kevin Williams (bass) and Tyler Schwarz (drums) recorded Pythons in Los Angeles with producer Gil Norton (Pixies, Echo and the Bunnymen.) Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliott Smith, Guided By Voices) mixed the album.
Pythons is the follow-up to Surfer Blood’s critically-acclaimed debut album Astro Coast, which earned spots on “best of” lists from Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Filter, Paste, NME and the BBC. NPR’s Bob Boilen called Astro Coast his “favorite album of 2010” and declared Surfer Blood to be “America’s best new pop band.”
Surfer Blood will be previewing songs from Pythons during a west coast run next month. The intimate, small club fan shows lead up to their attendance at this year’s SXSW Music Conference in March.
