Mamphibian "Sunrise"
Hang ten! Pointbreak! A third surf term! Here comes a sun-soaked dose of instrumental surf music from the sunny shores of… Pennsylvania? Wait – that can’t be right? *checks notes* Ok. I WAS right? Erik Santana – known here as Mamphibian – has recorded 10 (one for each toe – gnarly!) classic surf jams right out of the Ventures playbook. From the giddy Shadowey Men On A Shadowey Planet-esque “Sundrifter” to the playful confidence of “Wiggles” to the b-side balladry of “Zombie Prom (Frankie’s Hot Rod Death)” – if it isn’t the drums you’re hearing than what you’re hearing was played by Santana (no – a different one). Catch the wave!
