The Botticellis were an American surf pop band founded in 2003 in Santa Cruz by Alexi Glickman, Zack Ehrlich, Burton Li, and Dave Tranchina. Their 2008 debut record was released by Antenna Farm Records in 2008 to critical acclaim. NPR,[1] Dusted Magazine,[2] Allmusic,[3] Pitchfork Media[4] Daytrotter[5] Crawdaddy!.[6]
"Botticelli" is Italian for "little barrel." The Botticellis' sound has been described as "chamber pop"[2] and likened to the California surf music of the 1960s[1] as well as post-Beatles pop groups like Big Star, Chris Bell, Raspberries, ELO, George Harrison, Belle & Sebastian, Paul Simon[4] and similar artists who are known to bring sophistication to pop composition.[6]
The band dissolved in 2010, with its members pursuing separate musical projects.[7]
