San Francisco group <a href="/tags/sandys">Sandy’s</a> release the five-track EP ‘Sound of the Bay’, blending vocals and instrumentals into a distinctly Californian meeting of surf music, indie songwriting, jazz harmony and old swing. Recorded from harmonic sketches and live improvisation at a home studio in Truckee, the EP reflects more than fifteen years of collective musical development.
Its title refers both to Alexi Glickman’s first family home on San Francisco Bay and the band’s claim to a regional sound that need not compete with New York or Los Angeles. Childhood memory, domestic warmth and the California coast move through music informed by The Beach Boys, 1930s swing and classical composers. ‘Sound of the Bay’ is nostalgic without becoming a souvenir shop. It sounds like a place people actually live. Discover more in <a href="/genres/indie-pop">Indie & Surf</a>.
