Surfaces releases Hidden Youth

Amassing over 14 billion streams to date, RIAA triple-platinum certified Texas-based pop duo Surfaces present their new album Hidden Youth.

Their biggest and boldest project yet, Hidden Youth, features previous singles What’s Been On Your Mind? and the groovy I Can’t Help But Feel, which has amassed over 140 million streams thus far and was hailed by Rolling Stone who called the track, “fresh, breezy and a lot of fun.”

“With this album, we really wanted to explore a new setting - as a band with a beachy sound we wanted to see what sounds the desert would bring us,” says Surfaces. “We rented a house for two weeks and elaborated on ideas we had started on our last tour, and this is what came of it. The music we grew up on is what inspired this album that we’ve always wanted to make but weren’t able to until now. No samples, no loops - just us, our instruments, and the overall energy of being secluded in the desert.”

Surfaces continue to make their mark this year after their globally renowned 2021 album, Pacifico, featuring standout single Wave Of You as well as collaborations with Tai Verdes on Sheesh! and Salem Ilese on Come With Me, which has amassed over 4.4 billion streams globally, while garnering praise from the likes of Variety, Consequence, Ones to Watch and 1883, who said “with only five years under their belts, the duo from Texas has managed to launch themselves into the limelight of stardom.”

ABOUT SURFACES

Surfaces is a Texas-based duo comprised of Forrest Frank and Colin Padalecki. Forming in 2017, with Forrest manning vocals and production, and Colin handling writing and arrangements, they released their debut album later that year titled Surf. Quickly capturing the attention of fans, they followed in 2019 with the release of Where the Light Is, catapulting them into stardom with breakout smash Sunday Best. The RIAA triple-platinum certified track went on to surpass 5 billion streams, break into the Top 20 on Billboard’s Hot 100, reach #9 at Pop Radio and led to performances on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Late Late Show with James Corden, and The TODAY Show.

They continued their momentum with the release of Horizons, in early 2020, featuring Take It Easy, followed by their collaboration with the legendary Elton John on Learn To Fly and, most recently, the release of their 2021 album, Pacifico, featuring stand out singles Wave of You and Come With Me featuring Salem Ilese.

Now, Forrest and Colin focus on the next chapter of their musical career. Redefining their sound and perfecting their craft, the two isolated themselves in a house in Joshua Tree to experiment with new sounds and record. Inspired heavily by the likes of Tame Impala and Tom Misch, Surfaces pushed themselves to venture outside of their norm and craft some of their most innovative work to date. Featuring singles I Can’t Help But Feel and What’s Been On Your Mind?, the duo present their album Hidden Youth.
