Listen: Cayucas – East Coast Girl [Best Fit UK Premiere]

Cayucas lay their cards on the table from the start – their sound is not only imbued with Californian sunshine, but on ‘East Coast Girl’, longing for the UV rays that fall on San Luis Obispo is exactly what they’re singing about. Plus, when they chant of “pictures of men in denim shirts and worn out jeans”, they’re pretty much just describing their own press shots.

It’s about as edgy as the Platonic form of a sphere, but it also sounds like Paul Simon’s ‘Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard’ played by fifty Paul Simons at once, which makes it somewhat lovely.

Lead by chief songwriter Zach Yudin, Cayucas are to release their debut album Bigfoot via Secretly Canadian (home to the likes of Yeasayer and Jens Lekman, who seem like ideal neighbours) on 30 April.

On this evidence, it might just possess enough snappy rhythms, hand claps, and yelped “oh oh oh”s to satiate those angry that Local Natives ever went all mature on our asses.
