“It’s great playing here, we live right around the corner,” said a jubilant, mildly drunk Dustin Payseur, late on a Friday night in Ridgewood. Payseur’s band, Beach Fossils, had just released their fourth full-length album, called Bunny. For longtime fans, the release was a promise that some things could stay the same in the world of sunny, beach-adjacent indie rock; “still as laid-back as you remember,” recommended a blogger at Pitchfork, the website that has been dutifully covering Payseur’s moves since he had emerged in early 2010s Brooklyn, playing amid a scene of like-minded chill dudes like the guys in Real Estate, Mac DeMarco and Diiv, a band whose frontman Zachary Cole Smith got his start playing drums on some of Payseur’s early tours.
