New Entry: Surf Rock Is Dead Unveil New Single "Zen A"

Brooklyn based indie pop/surf rock duo Surf Rock Is Dead (aka Kevin Pariso and Joel Witenberg) have unveiled their new single "Zen A".

It is the duo's third single, it follows their also catchy debut single "Equinox" and the summery "Late Risers".

About the song, Pariso says: "With a darker approach to tone and harmonic vibe, the verbed filled layers and delays created a zened out feel that laid the foundation of the song. With Joel singing lead mostly on this track, we felt it immediately widened our sound...when we finished the ending it seemed hilariously huge and borderline inappropriate for the track."
