The Shrubs completely change course from the introspective tunes they’ve been known for, and they finally blast onto people’s radar with “Fall Behind,” a refreshing and fun surf rock getaway that feels new but welcoming as well. Moving away from the slower, sadder tones that marked its previous work, the band dives headfirst into a fun and upbeat energy reminiscent of surf rock pioneers The Ventures and Bambi Molesters.
Recorded in their now even more cozy home studio, Flowers on the Wall in Katy, TX, “Fall Behind” is imbued with a glowing analog warmth that puts you right there on that sunny day back when music was the escape artist. That choice to rely on vintage recording gear isn’t merely a bow to memories, it’s an assertion. Every guitar twang and rhythmic creak of percussion is shot through with a handcrafted authenticity that the digital polish too often misses.
The Shrubs thread a sense of modernity into the track, one that keeps it alive and present, rather than locked inside a time capsule. Their musical progression is clear, a band once rooted in miserable reflection now wallows in lively experimentation, showing they have no fear of pushing boundaries while respecting their heritage.
“Fall Behind” is a snapshot of a band in motion, chewing at the bit to explore new territory they might not be entirely familiar with while still maintaining their core nature. Combining an infectious vibrancy with undeniable memories and allure, this is an exciting new dawn for The Shrubs, one where originality meets genuine respect, and every note beckons fans to join in the journey.
