    Some catchy grooves by the Florida based band. EP's are hard to rate because their not a full album length so it leaves you wanting more and driving yourself crazy. The produced quality has hurt some of the charm that I liked from Astro Coast, but I still want more of it.

    Not as good as Astro Coast, but some very catchy tunes and a good EP from Surfer Blood. It seems to carry the same youthful nuance as exhibited in Astro Coast, but Tarot Classics is a more refined, which I didn't like. That being said, I can't wait for the third album.

    Ultimately, Tarot Classics is a fun and welcome addition to any existing Surfer Blood fan's catalogue, even if it is unlikely to win over any new fans.
  2. Tarot Classics so efficiently sets to buoyant, energetic music a viewpoint that is not only discontent but increasingly disinterested. And it's all somewhat hidden, because party tunes these can still be.

    Growing pains and all, Tarot Classics does keep things interesting enough by working with and building on the qualities that helped Surfer Blood make a big splash with Astro Coast.
