Santa Monica band Cayucas is coming to Velvet Jones next Wednesday as openers (with Races) for El Ten Eleven.  We unearthed Cayucas last fall when they signed to Secretly Canadian and released their breezy, addicting song Cayucos,with its playful accompanying video (seen way below).  With Central Coast beach-centric lyrics/optics, reverbed vocals and hazy harmonies, the song and video were sure to be hits at Chez Lefort.  The band, which is the brainchild of Zach Yudin, followed up Cayucos with the release in December of their similarly clever, breezy and ’60s-inflected song Swimsuit (just listen below to that organ and handclap ending).  Cayucas sounds a bit like The Beach Boys as interpreted/produced by Animal Collective (minus some of the latter’s distracting density).  We can’t wait to hear what talented producer Richard Swift (of The Shins) does for the young band on their impending new album for Secretly Canadian.  In the meantime, check out both songs and videos below, and get ye to Velvet Jones next Wednesday!
