Celestial Shore

Celestial Shore's debut EP California Eden clocks in at four tracks in seven minutes flat. In that brief span, it shifts gears recklessly between its multithreaded, intensely melodic motifs - the collected effect is one of gunning your '41 woody straight off the pier, smack through the loop-de-loop, and out into the surf. The Brooklyn-based trio followed this EP with the Place Aux Dames 7" on Double Denim Records, and late last year released a four-song all-analog split tape with Shopping Spree on Prison Art.   Celestial Shore will release their debut full-length record entitled 10x on Brad Oberhofer's Local Singles Records on April 23. Mixed by Greg Saunier (Deerhoof), 10x expands on the band's earlier outings with more fully-developed song structures, offering more room to employ its growing bag of tricks – the odd beat dropped here or there, muscly breakneck spazzouts, and ecstatic wind-up reveries that immediately distinguish their sound and feel.
