A bunch of album covers with 2025 superimposed on it

Every year I try to keep track of all the surf releases I can find. It's always a very incomplete list -- some platforms are easier for discovery than others, some bands barely even advertise.

There are a few notes and rules:

I don't include single-song releases. It would just get impossible at that point. It must have been released in 2025. If it was digitally released in 2024 but vinyl came out in 2025, I still call that a 2024 release. If there's more than a year gap, I'll call that a reissue. This is not a list of recommendations. Inclusion on this list just means I found it and verified that it was surf music. It doesn't guarantee that I even listened to the whole thing. Exclusion from this list could mean I don't know about it, that I haven't updated it yet, or it could be an error! Either way, This is mostly bandcamp because that's where I discover music the most. Any digital platform (or no digital platform!) is valid. Must be at least 50% instrumental. I try to be generous, but my defintion of surf is ultimately my own. Bolded stuff means I reviewed it on this site.
