The Simple Present, from the few available songs as of the time of writing, seem to be about halfway between jangle pop and indie surf: the guitar is being played as if it's jangle pop, but the reverb on it sounds more like surf. Apparently they were discovered through a demo that was meant to only be shared among friends; as someone who isn't a friend or even an acquaintance, I've got to say I'm happy that somehow they've found their way out of that circle so I can hear them.
