RIAA platinum certified rock band Surf Curse have shared their latest single, “Self Portrait,” available now via Atlantic Records at all DSPs and streaming services. An official music video directed by Nathan Castiel and Nick Rattigan premieres today at YouTube HERE.

 

Written by Surf Curse and produced by Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beach House, Grizzly Bear), “Self Portrait” heralds the Los Angeles-based band’s eagerly awaited new album, MAGIC HOURdue everywhere October 7. Pre-saves/pre-orders – including digital download, CD, and deluxe CD packages - available now HERE.

 

Surf Curse’s fourth LP and Atlantic Records debut, MAGIC HOUR also includes such highly energized new singles as “Lost Honor,” “TVI,” and the power pop anthem, “Sugar,” all available now for streaming and download.

 

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 earned over 500M worldwide streams and RIAA platinum certification more than eight years after its original release. Recorded at New York City’s iconic Electric Lady Studios, MAGIC HOUR now sees the band testing the boundaries of their seasoned indie rock approach, exploring a wide range of sonic styles and colors with founders Rattigan and Rubeck now joined by new members Noah Kohll (guitars) and Henry Dillon (bass). The newly expanded lineup allows Surf Curse to push their already ambitious songcraft even further than ever before, spanning the blistering album-opener, “Arrow,” to the somber rock of “No Tomorrows.”

 

MAGIC HOUR is our excitement about rock music and being in a band,” says 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.

 

Surf Curse will celebrate MAGIC HOUR with an epic world headline tour, getting underway with a highly anticipated performances at the upcoming Primavera Sound 2022 Los Angeles, set for Saturday, September 17 at Los Angeles State Historic Park. The band will then cross the Atlantic for a major EU/UK tour, followed by a North American headline kicking off with a pair of special Halloween shows at Las Vegas, NV’s AREA15 (October 30) and San Diego, CA’s SOMA (October 31) and then traveling through a hometown tour finale at Hollywood, CA’s famed Hollywood Palladium on December 17. Special guests throughout the North American tour include TonerGrumpy, and others to be announced. For complete details and ticket information, please visit www.surfcurse.com/tour.

 

In addition, Surf Curse will host a very special event featuring a screening of Jean-Luc Godard and The Rolling Stones’ landmark 1968 film, Sympathy For The Devil, followed by exclusive Q&A discussing the avant-garde classic’s influence on MAGIC HOUR, set for Los Angeles’ Brain Dead Studios on Wednesday, September 14.
