Excerpt:
“Music filled the Country Roads. It was what used to be called surf music, with echo-y jangling guitars and voices in harmony singing about cars and waves.”
— from Food: Generation Mars, Book Four
I like music that is out of time, music that sounds like it’s from an era that it is not, music that twists a genre into something else entirely. Here’s Sure as Spring, by La Luz, a modern band that I was listening to a lot when I wrote the first Radio Mars scene. It’s not exactly cars and waves, but it definitely rides that surf rock vibe, albeit in a more pensive way. And there are a couple lines in the chorus that fit elements of Part Three.
