Album Review
Pollo Del Mar may offer a familiar bag of instrumental surf music tricks on The Golden State, but it's a well-executed and versatile one. Wavering bent notes, quasi-Latin minor-key melodies, a mauling of a standard ("Hall of the Mountain King"), a touch of Davie Allan menace, gentler stuff with a tone that's both searing and serene ("As Above, So Below"), basic good-time chug, even hints of reggae and polka rhythms — all this and more are here. The guitars conjure an admirable arsenal of tones and textures, from sirens and lonely pinging riffs to earthquake-rumbling bass. There's not much else to say about what they do, but what they do they do with efficiency, varying the mood more than many another retro-surf combo. Other than "Hall of the Mountain King," everything's original save for one other rather off-the-wall cover choice, the Clash's "Charlie Don't Surf."
Customer Reviews
Great CD!
Ference and the gang really did a great job on this CD. Take a listen and you will love it as much as I do! I wish all of Pollo Del Mars CDs were available here! One thing I wonder about is why it is listed as a partial album, bacuse all of the songs from the CD are here.
two fins up!
First heard this band from their contribution of "Flash of Green" to a compilation. That track is excellent, but Dripping Springs TX is also great and Red Asphalt positively rips. Overall a great contribution to surf rock.
Love The Golden State
Great sounding CD, great sounding live, awesome awesome band! Do yourself a favor and buy the whole album, you won't be dissapointed!
