The dudes from Beach Fossils seem to have a bit of an creative overload within their band this year, as now Captured Tracks' second LP release with a Beach Fossils member is due, this time with bassist John Penã aka
Heavenly Beat, whom was also on our radar last year. On his debut album
Talent the
beach reference is impossible to deny, as Penã draws his tropical tunes in the direction of the warmhearted, swedish synth pop, as he also states as a big influence. It hits me that the earlier works of
Craft Spells' Justin Paul Vallesteros seem like a reasonable remark too, referring to the innocent, but intelligent melodies and beat-driven compositions.
