GOLDEN HOUR GROOVES: SURFER GIRL SHINES ON ‘SUNSET’
There’s something magnetic about Surfer Girl. Helmed by Carter Reeves—once the voice of Aer—the Wayland, MA outfit is carving their own radiant lane with a heady blend of surf-rock, reggae, hip-hop, and indie-pop. Their latest offering, Sunset, glows with warm, easy charm and crisp songwriting. It doesn’t try too hard. It doesn’t need to.
Dropped this April, Sunset is a shimmering, sun-drenched collection that feels tailor-made for golden-hour drives and barefoot dances on the beach.
The album pairs Surfer Girl’s laid-back energy with an impressive cast, featuring Bryce Vine, Collie Buddz, Jah Lil, and Emily Brimlow, all of whom leave their mark.
Each feature flows naturally—nothing feels forced, every track lands with intention.
REEVES’ ABILITY TO WEAVE NOSTALGIA WITH NOW KEEPS SURFER GIRL’S SOUND GROUNDED AND BUOYANT
What sets Sunset apart is its duality. It’s breezy without being empty. It celebrates the moment while still asking bigger questions. And that’s where Reeves shines. His ability to weave nostalgia with now—onstage and in the studio—keeps Surfer Girl’s sound both grounded and buoyant.
Festival heads already know the vibe. After lighting up stages at Sea.Hear.Now and Cali Vibes, the group is heading to the Vans Warped Tour Orlando. Expect a masterclass in feel-good energy, backed by musicianship that runs deep.
Surfer Girl are shaping a wave, and Sunset proves they’re nowhere near the shore.
