Cosmic Sand Dollars "Let's Go Critical Density!" LP

Launch Date: 2014. This is the record that started it all; the idea was propulsive - take the energies and can-do attitude of the first wave American instrumental boom (1959-63) and merge it all with flavors of the modern era. Of course, if you are reading this, you probably know that the band went on to further develop (and envelop) this philosophy into something else, but many of those same strains and playful ideas are present here. This is extremely clean, sock hop music. Why put on the same boring crap from the '60s for your next surfer's pajama party when you can spin this?

Originally issued in a now out-of-print CD format where, naturally, pretty much nobody has heard this until now.
