Stylistically, Lowery calls the band-produced album "the fake hippie/surfer side of Camper Van Beethoven. It's like Camper Van Beethoven leaning towards the Beach Boys' Big Sur period and the Grateful Dead. There's this Beach Boys album called 'Holland' that we have long had a fascination with in Camper, and we sort of ended up paying tribute to it by accident." The track "Northern California Girls," he says, also takes a page out of the Beach Boys' songbook; "Instead of 'California Girls' I started f***ing around and singing about northern California girls," he says. "Then I very quickly developed a story to it and finished it off."

My whole adult life was influenced by the Holland era.

So when is Lady Ga Ga going to do a cover of Mt Vernon and Fairway?

Nearly every artist from Katy Perry to these guys are influenced by at least one phase of The Beach Boys career

The song sounds great, would love to hear The Beach Boys next album sounding more like that than Spring Vacation.
