Chinese Fountain

The Growlers

Sun-drenched surf rock meets cynical new wave. A polished yet dusty collection of coastal anthems for the disillusioned and the nostalgic.

A sun-drenched but weary collection of songs that find beauty in the grit of everyday survival.

Moments Worth Listening For
The unexpected disco-punk bassline that drives the title track into a cynical dance floor anthem
Brooks Nielsen's voice cracking with weary wisdom during the stripped-back bridge of Going Gets Tough
The way the shimmering, 80s-inspired synthesizers on Love Test collide with the band's traditional surf-guitar jangle
