Great Pool Party Surf
author: Alex Hoffman
The Aqua Velvets are known for their lounge/jazz surf style and this album adds a pool party feel to it. As always, the songs are of high quality and very original. This is probably the Aqua Velvets' most fun and upbeat album to date. While every song is enjoyable, the few that stand out the most include the playful Hey You With the Sneakers On...Out of the Pool, the hauntingly cool Bamboo Torches, and extremely loungy Out of the Sand and into the Swing. Since the 1st album, The Aqua Velvets have defined their own unique niche in the genre and this album does not disappoint.
