Puerto – Quit Dreaming / Holding On To The Mundane (Blue 7" Vinyl)
Product Details
San Diego has always had its own gravitational pull, a coastline that breeds a particular kind of unhurried, sun-soaked songwriting. Puerto taps directly into that lineage, the kind of music that sounds like it belongs on a long drive down the 101 with the windows down. This blue 7" marks a genuine return, two sides of West Coast indie-surf that trust the groove to do the heavy lifting.
Featured in Kyle Buthman surf films, Coronado Brewing Company campaigns, and a creative partner of Salty Crew, San Diego's surf-rock duo Puerto returns after a six-year hiatus with Quit Dreaming / Holding On To The Mundane. Known for their sun-drenched blend of surf-rock and indie pop, Puerto has built a reputation for capturing the beauty and vibe of Southern California. Their new 7"" release includes two new songs and a music video, capturing the band's evolving perspective on the West Coast sound and lifestyle. The A-side, ""Quit Dreaming,"" pairs a steady, infectious groove with a hook-driven chorus, and the accompanying music video directed by Zach Mack documents a journey through San Diego's neighborhoods via city signs. On the flip side, ""Holding On To The Mundane"" is classic Puerto-a breezy track full of laid-back rhythms and easygoing melodies. As the title says, the song is a reminder to find meaning in everyday life rather than endlessly chasing ideals. Thus, this new release finds the band valuing presence over escapism, examining what it means to belong in a city that is constantly changing, and staying true to their surf-rock influences while branching off into modern indie.
