OK, here's every damn 2017 surf/instro release that I know of

Every damn 2017 Surf/Instro Release

The state of the surf union is strong. As 2017 comes to a close, here's as much of the surf music released this year that I could find.

A few things about it.

  • Items that I've written about on this blog are denoted by a *.
  • This is really meant to be a complete list... no quality judgements (stay tuned for that!).
  • At least half of the album must be instrumental.
  • I'm (generously) defining LPs by 7 or more songs.
  • Releases with 2-6 songs go in the EPs/Two-Siders category.
  • Releases that are just one song can get really messy, so I'm leaving them out.

Every year there are certain people that go above and beyond to find a few that I'm missing. This time I sought them out first. Thanks go out to Nestor Burma (aka UKAY54), Kevin Kamphaus and Leopoldo Furtado Castro of Reverb Brasil. Feel free to let me know of more releases that are missing.

I've attached a poll at the bottom of this to put your vote in for your favorite release of the year. It can be from any category.
