The story of Surfer Blood's '1000 Palms' began on January 1st 2014, after playing a New Year's show in Portland, Oregon. The band decided to stick around for the rest of the month, renting a practice space and sorting through a backlog of ideas. By February, as their lease ran out, Surfer Blood had recorded demos for most of the tracks that now feature on their third LP.

After a frustrating time at previous home Warner Brothers with the LP Pythons, the band decided to self-record '1000 Palms.' The making of '1000 Palms' owes a lot to the kindness of friends and family, with the remaining instrument sessions taking place at the home of drummer Tyler Schwartz's parents while they were on vacation. Following a few days of very little sleep and after the band pooled resources and called in favours, the band had managed to craft everything you now hear on the upcoming record.

'1000 Palms' shows homage to the bands debut 'Astro Coast;' it is filled with great pop songs and hooks, as displayed with lead single "I Can't Explain."
