专辑介绍

Formed in the small Northern California town of Chico in 2007, Surrogate draws their inspiration from the shoegaze and introspective indie bands of the 90s and 2000s, injecting a healthy amount of self-deprecation and classic melodic sensibility for an intelligent take on the standard guitar-driven alternative rock sound. After releasing two self-produced full lengths on Tooth & Nail/EMI the band vocalist/guitarist Chris Keene, guitarist Michael Lee, bass player Daniel Taylor, and keyboardist Daniel Martin struck out entirely on their own for 2011s Diamond and Pearls EP and never looked back.

For their 4th studio record, Post-Heroic, the band took their new-found self-sufficiency to new levels, moving into a dilapidated studio deep in the heart of their hometown s college ghetto for two years of writing, recording, drinking cheap beer, and taking their sweet ass time. Slimmed down to a four-piece, Post-Heroic found all four members taking their turn manning the drum set, but rather than sounding scattered, the resulting 10 songs showcase the band s penchant for incorporating disparate influences: the straightforward indie pop of Lovers, the post-rock ambiance of Accolades or the bluesy, stripped-down burn of Battleground, Washington for a focused, multifaceted sound.

Whatever the hot new sound may be, Surrogate is pretty sure that they re not it. And that s OK. They ll just be holed up in their carpet-walled control room, following their muse wherever it takes them. At least until dinner time. Maybe meet up later for a drink? We ll call you.
