In the liner notes, Phil Dirt says PDM are somewhere between Zappa and the Insect Surfers, which rings true from their clean production and non-traditional surf guitar sound. Sometimes theyre too experimental for my closed-minded ears, but theres a few on here that I dig like Death Valley Daze, which has a laid-back, afternoon-in-the-sun kind of riff. Another band comparison might be with the Mermen, since theres a few tunes on here like Pearl Diver with that kind of power and "ocean music" vibe.
