[Artist Spotlight] Cayucas


Cayucas | Buy ‘Bigfoot’
Tickets to Observatory Santa Ana June 7

Cayucas screams summer. It’s a sound that takes me back to the months directly preceding college. The sort of carefree, borderline reckless transition into more hopeful horizons. A clean slate! Driving beach side. Windows down. Music up. It’s hard to compare to those moments of peace, yet Cayucas seems to take us there through their uplifting spirits. Being from San Luis Obispo, CA makes them no stranger to surfer culture, and it’s pleasantly apparent in their music.

With the recent release of Cayucas’ debut album ‘Bigfoot,’ it’s time they caught traction. And what better for music like this than the eve of Summer? Their single ‘High School Lover’ wraps up all my nostalgia in a sand soaked beach towel, and the video is a work of art(s and crafts)! Reminds me of the first time I saw Vampire Weekend’s ‘A-Punk’ video. They go on tour this month with two SoCal stops, so be ready to catch them before they blow up. Tracklist after the jump.
