“Wearing PHANTOM SURFER type masks, this cool four-piece surf band hails from that notorious bastion of hot instrumental rock – France! Yep, these Euro Wave Riders unleash a classic 60s style surf sound full of clean guitar twang, exotic melodies and a twisting surf beat. Almost completely instrumental, a couple of the songs have vocals sung in English with a quaint French accent. Unlike some bands that seem to be going through the motions when playing surf, THE STAR AND KEY OF THE INDIAN OCEAN play their music with a lot of hooks and heart, and manage to make fresh sounding music within the genre. A groovy reverbin’ surf band.” [clear-spot.nl]
