You can hear Surkamp’s unmistakable vocal character beginning to take flight, but grounded in a gritty 1960s rock energy.
If you only know David for "Julia" or "Theme from Subway Sue," these recordings are a window into the raw talent that earned him a record deal before he even turned 21.
Unlike the violin-led prog of his later years, this is guitar-driven, fuzzy, and experimental—a must-listen for anyone who loves the transition from garage rock to progressive art-rock. David Surkamp & Touch - Street Suite - 1969-1970
