The Yetis share new single ‘Little Surfer Girl’

The Yetis are an indie rock band from Allentown, Pennsylvania made up of four young friends who started out covering The Strokes and Arctic Monkeys in a garage attic. Soon after, increased exposure to bands like Girls, The Beach Boys and Buddy Holly led to a bit of a change in sound. Original compositions like Little Surfer Girl and Girl, I Wanna Be Your Man show that The Yetis are far from a cover group at this point. Take a listen to Little Surfer Girl (available now) via Soundcloud below.

Fresh out of the studio with Kyle “Slick” Johnson (Modest Mouse, Wavves, Cymbals Eat Guitars) the approach of The Yetis touches on the surf-leaning material of their influences, but don’t consider them strictly a surf-rock band. NME contributor James Balmont writes: “Their modest, charming surf and jangly rock-and-roll is full of the kind of vocal harmonies and cute guitar licks that would make The Beach Boys crack a smile and one recent track, Warm California, sums them up in one; a two-minute ditty full of sunny iconography and a jovial tempo. Best of the lot, though, is Girl, I Wanna Be Your Man, a Western ballad that mixes Beatles twangs with the Black Lips and The Coral for some sensational, laid-back guitar-pop.”
