Description

Vinyl LP pressing. The long-awaited return of Brooklyn s Beach Fossils, Somersault showcases a band in bloom. Charting into new musical territory with a refined songwriting style, it s an album that captures flashes of life in New York grounded in personal experience. As the band s first release on Dustin Payseur s new label Bayonet Records, which he co-owns with wife Kate Garcia – the group made the most of their newfound independence, investing ample time in expanding it s range both musically and lyrically. While Payseur handled the bulk of the songwriting duties in the past, Somersault is a true collaboration between the founding member and band mates, Jack Doyle Smith and Tommy Davidson. Somersault evokes the laid-back mood of a warm, breezy city night, the air crackling with humidity and excitement. These songs pulse and pull, capturing a blend of promise and heartache. It s beautiful and layered, a refined, sweeping creation that threads together numerous styles, textures, and themes into a refreshing, singular vision.
