NEW DOUBLE LP
New sealed copy. Black vinyl edition.
Surfilmusic is a documentary exploring Jack Johnson’s path from surfer and surf filmmaker to internationally successful musician. Directed by Emmett Malloy, the film examines how Johnson’s early years making surf films with friends shaped both his creative outlook and later songwriting.
Built around archival footage, home videos, and present day interviews, the documentary connects Johnson’s surfing background with the themes and atmosphere that would later define his music. It also highlights the close community around those early surf films, featuring appearances from Kelly Slater, Rob Machado, Gerry Lopez, Ben Harper, G. Love, John Florence, and others. The film includes an original score by Jack Johnson and Hermanos Gutiérrez, and is dedicated to the memory of surfer and actor Tamayo Perry.
Alongside the film, Johnson announced the release of the Surfilmusic soundtrack and companion double album 4-Track, both arriving May 15 through Brushfire Records. The soundtrack combines the film’s original score with remastered selections from Johnson’s early home recordings, offering a look back at the music and recordings that predated his debut album career.
