Wikipedia:

Beach Fossils is an American indie rock band from Brooklyn, New York City. Formed in 2009, Beach Fossils started as Dustin Payseur's solo recording project. Payseur recorded the band's self-titled album on his own, playing all instruments. In late 2009 the album gained popularity through music blog reviews and local Brooklyn-based shows. After signing to Captured Tracks the Beach Fossils became a full band, touring the United States endlessly with a scattered line-up that included 12 different drummers and 3 guitarists. In March of 2011, Payseur teamed up with bassist John Pena to record their EP, "What a Pleasure" which met favorable reviews. Shortly after the release, the band launched another tour, this time covering the United States and parts of Europe. The Beach Fossils are currently recording their sophomore album which has yet to be named. The band has released a 7" featuring two singles, titled "Shallow" and "Lessons".
