Early Praise for Heaven Surrounds You:
"The song [“Disco”] is very reminiscent of early Vampire Weekend — think “A-Punk” — which could be contributed to the sparky guitar voice. That choice pays off in the chorus, as the switch to a linear chord progression launches the song forward. What sets this track apart is that spacey, echo-drenched sound that’s due to the full sounding percussion." - Stereogum
"With “Disco” as a forecast for what the record has to offer, Surf Curse sounds brighter than ever with the help of a glammed-out video directed by Rattigan, complete with ballroom dancing. With the promise of more film references and “echo chamber harmonies,” the Jarvis Taveniere–produced LP has our attention." - FLOOD Magazine
"Like the classic story arc, the guitar tune builds as if it were a classic Western about the lone wolf of its lyrics. Surf Curse may be howling at the moon, but there's no sense of disbelief that you can't find the Joe Buck to your Ratso." - Thrillist
"You know the type of music that makes you wanna dim the lights, calmly open a beer and dance your head off alone at home with no one watching but your inquisitive neighbour? ["Disco"] This is definitely one of those." - Indie Shuffle
Los Angeles duo Surf Curse -- comprised of Nick Rattigan and Jacob Rubeck -- have today released their new album, Heaven Surrounds You, on September 13th on Danger Collective Records.

Produced by Jarvis Taveniere (Sunflower Bean, Woods), Heaven Surrounds You is a coming of age epic, inspired by the many cult films the band cherished throughout their formative years spent in Reno, Las Vegas, and finally LA. The album -- an indie pop gem full of spangled guitars and echo chamber harmonies -- is lush and vulnerable, a massive step forward for the band, who have become one of Los Angeles’s most exciting new artists, already amassing over 30 million streams worldwide.
Already selling out venues left and right around the country, Surf Curse have very quickly amassed a fervent, die-hard following and reputation as one of the best live bands playing in LA right now. Emerging from DIY venue The Smell at the front of LA’s exploding new indie rock scene -- coming up alongside artists such as Girlpool, Lala Lala, Slow Hollows, and more -- to now headlining the Fonda, Surf Curse’s live shows have become a rite of passage for teen music lovers across the country.
Surf Curse start a massive North American tour in support of Heaven Surrounds You, including a sold out show at The Fonda in their hometown of LA, with shows sold out in Brooklyn, San Francisco, and more. The duo will be playing a special release show at LA’s The Smell tonight that sold out in 20 minutes flat.
