Surfer Blood have shared the new track ‘I Can’t Explain‘ ahead of their return on with ‘1000 Palms’ on May 11th. Have a listen via Soundcloud below.

“’I Can’t Explain’ is one of our most collaborative efforts to date,” John Paul Pitts has said. “The hook just came to us one day in the practice space and we wrote the rest of the song around it.  The lyrics (by Kevin Williams) tell the story of a romantic encounter on a New Year’s Eve past and build slowly with the rest of the song.”

“I’ve always been keen on a long instrumental outro, so this seemed like the perfect spot for a long, jammy guitar section – a place for us to get some Yo La Tengo/Built to Spill guitar fetishizing out of our system.”

‘1000 Palms’ is the follow-up to Surfer Blood’s 2013 second album ‘Pythons’.

‘Grand Inquisitor’
