nude beach is strictly timeless rock 'n' roll. similar to landmark albums in the early aughts (e.g. the strokes' 'is this it', the white stripes' 'white blood cells'), nude beach echoes the past without drooling in the rearview mirror. the album's overall genetic code has strands of dna from costello, petty, or paul westerberg, but who gives a shit.
