The Drake

Beach Fossils is an American indie rock band from Brooklyn, New York, formed in 2009. The band is signed to Bayonet Records, having previously been with Captured Tracks. The current live lineup includes Dustin Payseur (vocals, guitar), Jack Doyle Smith (bass), Tommy Davidson (guitar), and Anton Hochheim (drums). The group is known for its lo-fi, atmospheric sound, confessional and nostalgic lyrics, and Payseur's laid-back vocal style. Payseur conceived the project in late 2008 after moving to New York City from North Carolina. The band has released four studio albums: their self-titled debut in 2010, Clash the Truth in 2013, Somersault in 2017, and Bunny in 2023, along with an EP titled What A Pleasure in 2011. Beach Fossils, alongside label mates DIIV, Wild Nothing, and Mac DeMarco, is considered a forerunner in the lo-fi dream pop sound that emerged from the underground indie scene in the 2010s.
