Despite the fictional band having four songs known at most, it is not unusual for "beetniks" to experience strong feelings of nostalgia when playing through these tracks which most likely hit the net through popular music downloading agents such as Kazaa, Limewire, and Napster in the late 90's - early 2000's.

The fictional group is composed of the characters Monroe Yoder, Wendy Nespot, Flounder, and Chap Lipman.

Beach Fossils
Add To My Artists

The jangly, self-recorded ramblings of Brooklyn's Dustin Payseur, Beach Fossils offers hauntingly catchy tunes that blend the energy of an impulsive road trip with the melodious wandering of a lucid dream. Sun drenched riffs, kaleidoscopic rhythms and hazy lyrics saturate Beach Fossils' first release, a s/t album with a carefree vibe perfectly summed up through song titles such as "Daydream," "Vacation," and "Lazy Day."

Beach Fossils' debut 7" was released by Captured Tracks in Winter 2009, followed by their first full-length LP in May 2010.
