Cayucas

“Yeah Yeah Yeah” is the newest track from the Santa Monica-based duo, Cayucas. It will be on their forthcoming fourth studio album entitled “Blue Summer” set for release on September 25^th via Park The Van. This eight track collection marks the first time member Zach Yudin will earn a producer credit for a Cayucas album. Their studio, dubbed Corner Pocket, is filled with many vintage pieces of equipment, but a vintage reverb tank found in Japan and a DanElectro with space echo may appear on the album more than any other sound. Inspired by “Pet Sounds” and Smile Beach Boys sessions, the rhythmic groove of Jan and Dean, and an actual baby blue Schwinn bicycle Zach had owned when the band was going by the name Oregon Bike Trails 10 years ago, the brothers began writing new material last fall.

When asked about getting back to their beachy roots on “Blue Summer,” Zach Yudin explained, “We had this mantra: Back to the beach. That kickstarted the creative process. We were listening to a ton of Beach Boys music, fantasizing about living coastal again, and writing songs reminiscent of the original demos I wrote for Cayucas back in 2011—that’s kind of our base. For the first time in a while that idea felt really fresh and exciting; let’s go back to what really worked for us as songwriters and felt special, and what was most authentic for who we are as artists.”

Cayucas was formed in 2012 in Santa Monica and is made up of the twin brothers, Zach and Ben Yudin, and was previously known as Oregon Bike Trails. They have released three full-length albums; “Bigfoot” (2013), “Dancing at the Blue Lagoon” (2015) and “Real Life” (2019).
