After 50 years, surf music has morphed and evolved in many ways, but some groups strive to tap into the sound and feeling that it all came from back in the early 60's.

I’ve heard a lot of great surf records behind terrible album art, but some good art can not only draw you in but shape your listening experience. And in a style of music that is so attached to kitschy paraphernalia, it’s interesting to see how bands can either harness or subvert those associations to stand out and even shape instro culture.
Welcome to the fourth annual Gremmy Awards, Storm Surge of Reverb’s official designations of the best instro records of the year.
LOS FRENETICOS - frenetiqueando (el playa)
simon jones - Surfers Guitar (instrumentals vol. 1)
satan's pilgrims - Scorpio 6 (creature feature)
The Kahuna Kings - First Wave (Who wants to party with the Kahuna Kings)
Johnny & the Waves - Tidal Wave (Johnny & the waves vol 1)

A few things about it.
