With new fourth album Snowdonia, Florida bred indie rockers Surfer Blood begin something of a new chapter. Now many years removed from the chillwave movement they helped popularize, and throughly settled into more indie, surf-tinged territory after flirting with electronic and garage rock elements over several releases, the band take on a more focused, and straightforward sonic direction,…
