SURF & SPAGHETTI WESTERN
VA - Twang ’n’ Tumbleweed, Surf Goes Spaghetti (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3
This ain’t your typical surf set, and it’s sure as hell no western pastiche. Twang ’n’ Tumbleweed is a journey with a reverb-drenched backbone and the sun-bleached drama of spaghetti western aesthetics. It conjures up dusty highways and crashing waves, six-strings slung like six-shooters. This genre mashup takes the tremolo picking, splashy spring reverb, and guitar-led heroics of ’60s surf, and steeps it deep in the shadowy, cinematic world of Italian westerns. It’s where Ennio Morricone meets Dick Dale at high noon, where desert dust tangles with salt spray, and every track tells a tale in tremolo and twang.
This triple-volume 81 track bounty of surf-wired spaghetti western instrumentals aren’t your uncle’s surf mix. It’s a twang-forward, genre-hopping tribute to the unsung corners of instrumental storytelling. Morricone themes get reimagined in sunburned garages; Japanese surf acts blaze trails through echo chambers; and rare tracks reemerge from deep vaults like tumbleweeds from forgotten reels. Acts span Uruguay, Japan, Finland, Australia, Peru, surf rock as a global dialect, all filtered through dusty cowboy boots and weathered cacti.
Volume 1 We kick off with Bradipos IV’s widescreen take on “Titoli.” Then it’s subterranean noir from The Infrareds (“Matte Blood”), twang-scorched reverb from Japan’s Fuzziyama Surfers, and a gunfighter’s twitch from The Treble Spankers’ “The Good, the Bad & the Ugly.” Treasure seekers will nod at Link Wray’s alternate take on “Comanche”, a primordial stomp that predates surf but shaped its very soul. The Reigning Monarchs wink through “Cowboy Shirt,” and Davie Allan & The Arrows rip pavement with “Grogs Hog.” By the time the stylus lifts, the dust hasn’t just risen, it’s howling.
Volume 2 Here comes the high noon crescendo. The Kilaueas ignite flamenco flair on “Malagueña,” while The Thunderchiefs tear through Texas twang on “Drag-N-Fly.” Martin Cilia’s shimmering “Koko Head” casts mirages across the plains, while The Manakooras slow-dance through surf noir steelwork. Mikelangelo and The Tin Star’s “No Sign of a Pipeline” might be the spiritual anchor here; cabaret menace meets outlaw cool. And The Longboards’ “Requiem for Link Wray” nods reverently to the ghost who started it all. “El Toro” rides again through two distinct takes, by Surfmen and Men in Gray Suits, retold like a myth shared around desert campfires.
Volume 3 Now comes the twilight, windswept, cinematic, and soaked in noir. The Tomorrow Men surf Bowie’s “Moonage Daydream” across space and scrub. Chingón’s “Severina” blends Latin heat and dusk-lit danger. Cadillac Hitmen, Aqua Velvets, and Madeira stretch the canvas wide, painting vast sonic mesas in tremolo shadow.
Rarity hunters: don’t miss Robert & The Roboters’ delightfully oddball “Emmanuelle in Thailand”, all sleaze and sleuth, surf-style. And then the curtain falls with Dead Rocks’ “Surf Man,” a 9-minute sprawl of desert-drenched glory, like a final reel unearthed from a long-lost Leone epic.
Twang ’n’ Tumbleweed is a map, a genre-hopping, myth-making trail through outposts of surf and spaghetti. It is strung together by tremolo ghosts, duct-taped amps, and riders who never looked back. It rescues outliers, reveres the legends, and uncovers hidden jewels buried in the sands of soundtracking history.
That’s the sound at the heart of spaghetti surf, a deliciously twisted fusion of surf rock and spaghetti western soundtrack music. I now hand the reins over to you to explore an entire sun-drenched, reverberating frontier. (B)
