Surfer Blood share new track "I Can't Explain" from upcoming record 1000 Palms.

The band's John Paul Pitts said of the track:

“I Can't Explain is one of our most collaborative efforts to date... the hook just came to us one day in the practice space and we wrote the rest of the song around it. The lyrics (by Kevin Williams) tell the story of a romantic encounter on a New Year's Eve past and build slowly with the rest of the song. I've always been keen on a long instrumental outro, so this seemed like the perfect spot for a long, jammy guitar section - a place for us to get some Yo La Tengo/Built to Spill guitar fetishizing out of our system.”

1000 Palms is due out 11 May on Fierce Panda Records.
