They emerged five days later with \u003ci\u003eDying Surfer Meets His Maker\u003c\/i\u003e, their first for New West Records, a label known for its Americana and what pigeon-holers call alt-country releases.It continues down the psychedelic path of its predecessor \u003ci\u003eLightning at the Door\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eEl Centro \u003c\/i\u003eis an eight-and-a-half-minute White Manna-style freakout), while keeping some of the steamy, swampy blues rock of their debut \u003ci\u003eOur Mother Electricity (Dirt Preachers\u003c\/i\u003e is a stomper), but it is what they have added that makes this album so good: a cinematic outlook which serves as a celebration of the large landscape of the US as songs flow into one another like the changing view from a car window; and a vulnerability, world-weariness and melancholy which gives the album real depth and substance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New West Records","offers":[{"title":"Pink | LP","offer_id":50466750595403,"sku":"1135714","price":20.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/8ce9713b-9efe-4db0-a049-82248cc1e956_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727319474","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/dying-surfer-meets-his-maker","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
