c'est la surf is an American indie folk band, with elements of psychedelic folk, dream pop, and lofi, based in Los Angeles, California and currently signed to DK Records.

Danny J. Hennessy (born September 26, 2000) is the lead singer-songwriter and plays piano, guitar, bass, synthesizers, and the talk box on his records.

Hennessy is recognized for pioneering "Neo-Modern Sad Bedroom LoFi Pop Music & Noise" – making recordings in his Los Angeles home using a myriad of classic instruments including guitar pedals, tape machines, analog synthesizers, vintage drum machines and pairing analog with digital recording techniques to achieve the "stepped on" sound that distinguises "I wrote this for you." from other lofi artists.

I wrote this for you.
On December 26, 2023, the indie artist released his first EP, "I wrote this for you.", through the indie label DistroKid. Their sound was described as “The Jesus and Mary Chain of neo-modern sad LoFi bedroom noise pop.” Taking influence from the likes of Daniel Johnston, Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse, and Trevor Powers of Youth Lagoon – the EP quickly grew in popularity with indie streamers on SoundCloud. The album features tracks using slowed and reverb techniques drawing inspiration from the late DJ Screw and the sounds of the Houston Lean Movement. The album was recorded using analog equipment and effects and employed layering through a Tascam 4 track mixer.

The album is widely regarded as one of the first examples of "Neo-Modern Sad Bedroom LoFi Pop Music & Noise." The album featured a limited released of 300 cassettes, hand mixed by Hennessy, with each tape having a unique sound, mix and variation of the original 5 songs on the EP.
