My artistic practice begins when I record guitar chords into a loop pedal or cassette machine and make a backing track. On the group’s Bandcamp site, Burnet describes her creative process: “I used that downtime to learn how to create a home studio,” she said in an interview with the Arts Fuse, “and I did some things using sitar and digital sampling, but my focus now is on the band.” During the lockdown, she did some solo recordings under the name Angel Lake. All of the song titles suggest the seacoast region from which they were birthed: “Black Sand Beach,” “Crane Feather,” “Dunes,” “Brushfire,” and “Black Witch Moth.” The music’s vibe is consistent, regardless of tempo or dynamics: it veers easily from rockers to ballads, from the middle eastern feel of “Dunes” to the psychedelic echo effects of “Brushfire.” The EP is bookended by songs whose titles begin with the word “black.” The opener, with its laconic introduction, is decidedly sunnier than the closer, which has layers of wah wah guitar and an insistent drum rhythm reminiscent of the Beatles’ psychedelic classic “Tomorrow Never Knows.”īurnet founded the band in 2019 (the same year, ironically, that Dick Dale died). She also has a real knack for musical storytelling. Supported by bassist Ian DeCelli and drummer Jake Remignanti, Burnet airbrushes her canvas with thick chords, establishing pliant rhythms that she then solos over with technical skill. On the just-released five-song EP from Maine/New Hampshire-based Kioea (pronounced key-o-e-ah), the gently authoritative sound of leader Carand Burnet’s surf guitar leads take the listener on journeys of their own, all of which feeds a desire to hear more. You can dance to it, drown your tears to it, or simply revel in the journey of each string as it goes from sharp pluck to ringing reverberation. It’s a sound that encompasses the range of human emotions. In his brilliant 1967 song, “Third Stone From the Sun,” he recited this line: “You’ll never hear surf music again.” And yet, from Dick Dale to the Beach Boys to Pulp Fiction, there’s something about the resonance of surf guitar that remains irresistible. Jimi Hendrix couldn’t have been more wrong. If you want pro results.With summer coming, this progressive surf combo’s new recording promises to make an ideal soundtrack for the season.
