Summer’s done…
Picture it: the Norfolk coast 1967, sitting round a fire on the beach at dusk, warm sand beneath your feet. The ebb and flow of the tide, restless mixed feelings at the end of the season. It’s the happy/sad feeling The Beach Boys did so well, honed to perfection by The Avalanches…
Originally this track was made very quickly to a tight deadline for work. The brief was to create a laid-back soundtrack to relax students and induce a creative atmosphere, and this sparse little folk number emerged with a beach theme. It consisted of Apple Loops layered together in GarageBand, but I always felt something was missing and decided to add some depth, spicing up the sixties flavour. There’s even a few bars of Sgt. Pepper’s-style backwards tape for the sake of pure nostalgia. Goldfrapp did retro psychedelics so well on Seventh Tree, so I guess you could say I was under the influence!

Fab!!! took me away to a tangerine sunset of my youth beautiful x
Thanks Neil. Tangerine sunset is code for something illicit, isn’t it?
My fingernails are filthy, I got beach tar on my feet …
Joni would be so proud.

Cheers Stevo! Glad you de-stressed!
Have listened to some tracks on your Cosmic Juke box and particularly liked Beach house – what a surprise!
Thanks, that means a lot to me. Good memories of Scratby!
I really like this. 🙂 You’re a muso?
I’m in the UK too (but Wales) and – wait for it – am an old hippy! 😉
Thanks, I really appreciate your feedback. I’m not sure I’m a real muso, but I like to dabble. Love psychedelic music and folk. I was born in 67 which was the Summer of Love so I’m an honorary hippy! Thanks for dropping by 😀
