I was a big fan of Die Krabben's Welcome to Surf Trash Island released last year, even giving it a Gremmy . Mining the Gyre has the same weirdo creepy surf-meets-Beefheart thing going on, with a few good instrumentals, a few essentially surf songs with a deep trollish voice grumbling out lyrics. It's kinda like if Reverend Beat-man had more of a surf angle.
