Los Angeles, CA-based, RIAA Platinum Certified rock band Surf Curse have announced details for their forthcoming North American headline tour, kicking off with two special Halloween shows. The tour includes highly anticipated performances at the new Primavera Sound Los Angeles, set for Saturday, September 17 at Los Angeles State Historic Park and New York’s Webster Hall on November 30th. For complete details and ticket information, please visit www.surfcurse.com/tour and for early access, pre-save the album HERE.

 

Surf Curse recently shared the highly energized new single, “TVI,” available now via Atlantic Records at all DSPs and streaming services. An official music video, directed by Nick Rattigan and Jacob Rubeck and shot on VHS by Max Knight, follows the band on a Scooby Doo-style adventure through a haunted castle in the hills of L.A. –  watch at YouTube HERE. “TVI” marks the latest single from Surf Curse’s eagerly awaited Atlantic Records debut album, MAGIC HOUR, due everywhere on Friday, September 16. Vinyl / CD / Cassette pre-orders launching soon and digital pre-save/pre-order is available now HERE.

 

MAGIC HOUR was recorded at Electric Lady, an iconic studio founded by Jimi Hendrix and located in New York City. The album, produced by Chris Coady, includes the power pop anthem, “Sugar,” available now for streaming and download. An official music video – directed by Surf Curse co-founders Nick Rattigan and Jacob Rubeck – has already earned close to 2M views at YouTube HERE.

 

Founded in Reno, NV by Nick Rattigan (lead vocals, drums) and Jacob Rubeck (guitar), Surf Curse have been crafting a multifaceted sound informed by indie, punk, pop, psych rock, and more for nearly a decade. 2020 saw the band’s breakthrough with the surprise TikTok success of “Freaks,” which saw the track earn over 500M worldwide streams and RIAA Platinum certification more than eight years after the release.

 

MAGIC HOUR, the band’s fourth LP, sees Surf Curse testing the boundaries of their seasoned indie rock approach, exploring a wider range of sonic styles and colors than ever before. The album marks not only the DIY veterans’ Atlantic Records debut, it serves as official  introduction to two new members of the band in Noah Kohll and Henry Dillon. The newly expanded lineup allowed for Surf Curse to push their already ambitious songcraft even further than ever before on tracks like the blistering album-opener “Arrow” and the somber blues rock of “No Tomorrows.”

 

“MAGIC HOUR is our excitement about rock music and being in a band,” says guitarist, Jacob Rubeck, “This album is the excitement of starting something that we all can feel good about with each other, but also progressing as creative people and throwing in that magic. We're feeling that magic, what's brewing in the air and what's existing in what we're doing together.”
