The amount of words that have been spilled on surfy garage music is surely some intimidating, absurd amount that can only be quantified using some poetic, Carl Sagan-esque double-speak. Something about star stuff. Here, then, I find myself faced with Los Devitos. They're a surfy garage rock band. They're great. What else can I tell you? Even without checking, I could tell you upon first listen that they're from California. Something about the laid-back vocals (reminiscent of fellow garage rockers the Growlers) and clean guitar lines, mixed with gently woozy psychedelia, is instantly evocative of mumbling heat-struck nonsense on a beach as the sun mercifully sets. This is music that's less for dancing and more for that moment near the end of the party when everyone slumps down into couches, keeping one foot on the ground to slow the spins.
