The French four-piece outfit are effortlessly teasing the release of their forthcoming long play project under Le Surf Records. As the album’s leading single, ‘These Days Are Gone’ functions as an innovative pastiche, fusing Led Zeppelin inspired basslines and gritty vocals with warm psychedelic tendencies akin to the likes of The Black Keys and The Growlers.

The explosive, toe-tapping instrumental work is punctuated by irresistible drum beats and funky rhythms that sneak through the sonic display to craft a windows-down, feel-good melodic fairytale. 

The track’s well-polished twangy euphonies showcase their musical prowess, and encapsulate an essence of carefree playfulness that truly evokes the yearning for a summertime road trip. Ponta Preta don’t shy away from asserting their prevalence as worthy representatives of the modern surf revival.
