The Routes. Play ( 10" )

Six Velvet Underground classics reimagined as surf guitar instrumentals by The ROUTES. Drawing inspiration from The Ventures, Dick Dale, The Shadows, and Link Wray, this collection transforms Lou Reed's masterpieces into driving 60s surf arrangements. Side A features "I'm Waiting For The Man," "Femme Fatale," and "Venus in Furs." Side B delivers "Run Run Run," "All Tomorrow's Parties," and "There She Goes Again"—each track capturing the raw energy of the original compositions through twanging guitars and propulsive rhythms. Artwork by Malcolm Garrett (Buzzcocks, Duran Duran). A future cult classic for surf and experimental music collectors.
