Pythons, the second album from West Palm Beach's Surfer Blood, came out on Sire in June 2013, and it's the sound of a bedroom band being handed the keys to a real studio. Their earlier music had been made in front man John Paul Pitts' apartment and drenched in reverb; this time Gil Norton, the man behind most of the Pixies' records, sat at the desk, and his old friend Joey Santiago lent the band amps and guitars.
The songs were written on the road after the Tarot Classics EP, though "Prom Song" goes back further, its guitar parts kicking around for years. Norton dries out the echo and buffs everything to a shine, so Pitts' hooks and Tyler Schwarz's drums hit harder and cleaner, and "Demon Dance" struts where the old songs shimmered. 1000 Palms followed.
