The project of drummer and singer Nick Rattigan and guitarist Jacob Rubeck, Surf Curse formed in Reno in 2013, issuing their first album, Buds, later that June. An EP, Sad Boys, appeared in October, after which the band relocated to L.A., where they began to establish themselves in the city's vibrant underground scene. By 2017, they'd reemerged as part of the Danger Collective and released their second album, Nothing Yet. An update on the simplistic style of their debut, Surf Curse's sound began to soften somewhat as they explored new tones and slightly more complex song structures. This trend carried over to their third LP, 2019's Heaven Surrounds You, which was inspired by Rattigan and Rubeck's favorite cult movies.

I need sleep
Well I'm so hard

If i see you again, it'll be too soon
Using my heart

Surf Curse's song "Chloe Kelly" is a song that begins with the singer expressing exhaustion mixed with the need to stay strong. They say "Well I'm so hard, I need sleep," which can be interpreted as the singer being emotionally hardened or tough, yet still worn out. They then repeat this line again, emphasizing their need for rest. However, the mention of "Harambe" in the following line is possibly a reference to the gorilla that was fatally shot at the Cincinnati Zoo in May 2016. This sudden reference creates a melancholy and slightly jarring tone, making it difficult to discern the singer's exact emotions.
