Biography:

During the Fall of 2017, Surf Cavalier traveled to Genova, Italy, where they recorded 17 songs with drummer and producer, Federico Foglia, that will be released as EP's quarterly throughout 2018. This particular project focused more on their fetish for fearless rock combined with, at times, purple ambient melodies and blacklight folk. The most profound experience these musicians took away from this project was how quickly they were able to reach the "sweet spot" in their sound, despite being together for less than a year. It was an honor for each of them to connect on so many levels musically and humanly, appreciating the familial bond that emerged over such a short period of time. The band was also accompanied by their photographer/videographer, Tom Farr, whose work is featured here.
