Beach Fossils sophomore album, Clash the Truth, is modern post-punk triumph thats left a lasting impression on the music scene it was born out of. After releasing their self titled debut and the beloved EP, What a Pleasure, songwriter and composer Dustin Payseur began recording dissonant and introspective demos reflecting on his southern upbringing and young adulthood in New York.

The tracks that would eventually make up Clash the Truth involved Payseur taking his songwriting in a new direction, employing jagged instrumentals, existential lyrics, and socially conscious subject matter. The darker themes of Clash the Truth still come out vibrant through bright guitar tones, locomotive drumming, and Payseurs inventive home recording techniques. Referencing the sounds of Factory Records releases, New Yorks no wave scene, and 90s avant-pop, Beach Fossils expanded their sound past the perimeters of bedroom dream pop.

Clash the Truth is Payseur evolving, the band shifting in a direction thats probably unlike what they previously imagined themselves moving toward. Consequence Of Sound.

Beach Fossils have found a balance thats better than anyone could have hoped for.
