‘Cursed’, Bikini Beach's seventh album, takes their love of contrasts to new heights: fuzzy riffs meet sugar-sweet melodies, raw garage energy meets psychedelic shimmering. The band from Lake Constance once again makes no compromises, preferring to do everything at once. There's no need to try and categorise their sound. Between garage, grunge, stoner, psych, surf and a pinch of motorik pop, Bikini Beach pick out exactly what suits them at the moment and it works with astonishing ease. Bikini Beach are a band that don't want to choose - and that's precisely why they sound so totally honest.
