The Edge of the Earth: Unreleased Songs From the Film "Fading West"

Switchfoot

Atmospheric, synth-leaning rock that captures the salt-air melancholy and wide-eyed wonder of a global surf journey. More experimental and patient than their radio hits.

It's the sound of a midnight surf session in song form.

A vast, salt-air melancholy that feels both lonely and incredibly hopeful.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the title track opens with a wash of synth that feels like a rising tide before the driving beat kicks in.
The haunting, stripped-back vulnerability of 'What It Costs' where the vocal feels inches away from the microphone.
The rhythmic interplay and world-music percussion influence that drives the bridge of 'Slow Down My Heartbeat'.
