Routes

Surfin' Pleasures

Having previously surfy-fied the songs of Kraftwerk and Buzzcocks, 'Surfin' Pleasures' sees The Routes take on the music of Joy Division. As with their previous "tributes", this is not an album of note for note cover versions. The Routes have only taken subtle melodic and rhythmic hints from the original songs; rearranging them into songs of their own, respectfully and lovingly translating the music of Joy Division into a different musical language. 'Surfin' Pleasures' sees twelve classic Joy Division songs reimagined and rearranged as banging '60s surf guitar instrumentals (à la The Ventures, Dick Dale, The Shadows, The Trashmen, Terauchi Takeshi, Link Wray, The Surfaris, The Astronauts and more).
