Cayucas
Band Formed 2012 US indie pop band
Cayucas formed in 2012. Cayucas has 11 chart appearances on 11 radio countdowns from 7 stations on RockLists, spanning 2013–2025. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “High School Lover”, which appears on 9 lists with a best position of #15. The station that charted Cayucas most often is CD101 (Columbus, OH), with 3 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2013.
Cayucas, built around twin brothers Zach and Ben Yudin, are out of Santa Monica, California, a band that used to go by the name Oregon Bike Trails and signed to Secretly Canadian in 2012. Zach writes the songs and sings them; Ben plays guitar. Bigfoot, the debut, arrived the following year, and it sounds exactly like a sunny afternoon at the beach should: breezy, jangly and a little bit hazy around the edges.
"High School Lover" is the standout, a wistful, sun-bleached daydream that's all loping rhythm and easy charm, like finding an old yearbook at the back of a closet. Dancing at the Blue Lagoon followed in 2015, and "Moony-Eyed Walrus" proved they hadn't lost their sense of humor, or their knack for a lazy, sweet melody.
