Now Hear This: Los Tiki Phantoms | Papá Soy Una Zombie

Spain’s skull-sporting surf-punk zombies dig up a few oldies for their latest EP.

THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “The gates of hell are open, and the four disciples of Tiki, the God of evil, are back to bring us their reverb-fueled instrumental surf ’n’ roll.

After playing in Barcelona — the scene of their first maleficient conquest with The Straitjackets and The Neanderthals — or in festivals like Reverb, Los Tiki Phantoms entered Montreal Studios in Pamplona to record their 2006 debut Regresan De La Tumba is a dark, energic and dynamic recording which unveiled our dead, faceless heroes’ strength and power. Since then they’ve kept on surfing, with a series of albums and their latest EP Papá Soy Una Zombie. Influenced by legends like The Ventures or The Shadows, and also by the intensity of Dead Kennedys or JFA, these infernal playboys are here to bring us pure diversion and evil frenzy.”
