With a name like Surf Philosophies, you might think you have this Swedish duo’s sound pegged. Whatever you might be conjuring in your head, it probably doesn’t sound like their debut single “Coconut Parfum,” that builds layers of ominous synths, chimes, skittering beats and impassioned vocal harmonies across seven-plus minutes. No reverbed guitar in sight. Surf Philosophies’ second single, “How to Surf,” due out soon via Adrian Recordings, is even more orchestral (is that an oboe in there?) that somewhat seems to be positing that surfing is a state mind. “How to Surf” premieres in this post and you can listen, and watch the “Coconut Parfum” video, below.
