Wax Static Beach EP

WAX STATIC’s Beach EP contains three surf-inspired garage tracks from this duo in Middletown, Ohio—which is about ten hours from the ocean, but don’t tell them that. The title track “Beach” opens the record with a mid-tempo, guitar-forward tune that sounds like it was recorded in the basement, setting the tone with lo-fi charm. “Hard Waves” follows as a 55-second instrumental bop—short, sweet, and the standout of the bunch. Closing track “I Wanna Go” continues the fuzzy momentum. The vocals are a bit buried, the music is simple, but it’s kind of fun.
