O sweet friend! O gentle sun! Can you hear the serenade song from yesterday and long before? The Passion Fruit Boys are a two person motorcycle club united by a belief in the ambitious spirit of popular music. Their debut LP is an attempt to throw everything at the wall and see what sticks - but everything is sticking. From Everly Brothers inspired earnestness, to the cynicism and brutality of 80’s post punk, this album really has it all. Beach Boys/Nilsson-infused psychedelia, heartfelt country ballads with the sincerity of Neil Young, three part harmonies, woozy synthesizers, wall of sound Californian wash, blazing hot surf rock guitar, swagger, truth, intention, momentum, and monumental crooning that would make Roy Orbison proud. Self-produced and recorded in their clubhouse living room, it’s admittedly hard to believe two self taught mechanics could manufacture such a diverse sonic landscape. It’s a story you will want to hear and an impossible secret to keep. Songs that beg to be played louder and louder! Ripe tunes for old and young, morning, night, before, after and during! Where are they from? Who cares! Best of friends! Peas in a pod! Hot rods and campfires, a raft made of wood! Come now, and bear witness to the supple intersection of life and loneliness, as represented by an assortment of hand crafted vibrations sure to conjure up unbridled feelings of nostalgia for many sweet moments to come. Be sure to enjoy their debut LP “Passion Fruit Boys” out now on Telefono.
