Circa Waves' debut album, Young Chasers, is a great album to put on this time of year to beat the winter blues. Each of the 14 tracks could become part of your next summer soundtrack, with beachy vibes that make you think of the sun and waves.
The album starts off fast paced. The second track, "T-Shirt Weather", is sure to become the anthem of your summer after just one listen. Things begin to mellow out a bit with "My Love" and "Deserve This", but pick right back up with the title track "Young Chasers".
"Lost It" and "Good for Me" specifically remind me of Wavves and early Best Coast, so if you're a fan, give this album a spin.
The album has a good flow overall, up until the end. "Talking Out Loud" would be a better closer simply for the fact that it has an air of finality about it. Because of this, "100 Strangers" feels more like a bonus track and disrupts the flow of the album. As a whole, the album shows a promising start for Circa Waves. Let's wait and see what the future holds for them.
Rating: 6/10
Favorite tunes: "Stuck in my Teeth", "Fossils"
