Beach Fossils - Youth (Live @ Insound Studio Sessions)

We've been frequent attendees at Beach Fossils shows around town since we caught them last year during CMJ. We were able to get the band into the studio just before their show at Cake Shop celebrating the release of their debut 7", Daydream b/w Desert Sand. They played us four new songs and we were consistently more blown away as each one was taped. The band's debut album for Captured Tracks/Woodsist is just around the corner and from the sounds of things its going to be fantastic. Check out the videos above for a sneak peak. You can pick up their record at our store, here: bit.ly/14SYuGO

This original lineup will be indie royalty in 20 years

[@YewLogs026]

This is just the best song ever made in the history of the world god damnit.

[@e7equiel76]

Espero que después de 11 años sigas pensando igual!!! 😊

[@makesoundsnotloveyess2866]

One of the most humblest talented musicians is that front man

[@justinpistolese]

Deff dude

[@Glenn78R]

I love how Cole is just dancing around while he plays the drums

zachary cole smith, current guitarist in beach fossils and frontman of the band DIIV

I really wish they did the whole white album on this session. It's the best live videos of the first line up

[@ohbowies]

I like how the drummer is just dancing.

[@ArnoVandyck]

[@ToddKojack]

These guys are awesome!! Instant smile when I listen to them :)

[@mannayoung4847]

i love beach fossils

[@fattmusiek5452]

The blanket muted floor tom/snare standing up- tasteful. Sounds so much like the purposely "fake" drum machine sound found in this lovely genre. Props for pulling this off so perfectly like. Beach Fossils - best jangle pop band? lol @jangle pop. 99.97% of humanity would be clueless to what I am talking about

[@jordyjo1093]

I know what jangle pop is🙂
I know what dream pop is too🙂

[@ArcadeLips]

Oh my. This is awesome.

[@davidmar43]

Why is Cole playing drums and not guitar? He's an incredible guitarist!

[@mikhailkonstantinov3168]

he was a drummer back in the day though!

[@probablyyourneighbororsome8412]

everyone knows cole was the true frontman

[@mynameisnotcory]

DAT BASS...

[@Imitablerumble8]

I know right

[@Joaocarlos-po3vj]

Algum brasileiro curte?

[@Madrone6]

It's actually a Univox

[@jaimemilio]

le meten!!!

[@victorprice5740]

Eastwood bass

[@samster92]

When? I've never heard of this. I just know he was featured in a song of theirs.

[@gavinmcg2100]

Can someone explain the drum set up? it looks minimal and inexpensive but very versatile. From my knowledge it looks like a snare and a bass/tom covered with a towel but I'm not sure.

[@stuartsones2354]

Yeah I am trying to figure that out as well. I think it is a floor tom and a snare with a towel as well but when I tried it, it didn't sound how I wanted. Did you find out what the set up is?

[@ClassicRockLivesOn]

It's a floor tom and a snare with a towel. I have the same set up. Panda Bear from Animal Collective also uses it too, although I think he has a hi hat and crash or something in addition to the two drums.

[@ghostbong]

@mellowhipe yoyo

[@Madrone6]

I miss the original lineup

[@thousandthys]

@Magnawulf sounds cool, yo

[@samster92]

Wild Nothing is Jack Tatum, and he wasn't from Beach Fossils.

[@Alonb64]

Anyone know the name of the drums he's playing?

[@elhelterskelter]

Alonb64 Just snare and tom floo, mate.

[@griffknows]

im not trying to be gay or anything, but i have butterflies

[@madebyrequest]

[@tjjackson6819]

Jon before gay and Zac before coke. I miss this line up

[@ghostbong]

no

[@ghostbong]

@davidmar43 this is old shitt son

[@FoldedTapestry]

Even in this studio, just not as good as the recordings. the recordings are perfect.

[@BayAreaCyclist300]

I thought the drummer was a girl lol

[@internetsummoner]

Yeah Cole gets that a lot especially in the earlier days

[@ghostbong]

Lol no he wasn't.

[@ex621]

[@Magnawulf]

[@Madrone6]
