Artist:Coasts
Track:Lions
Info:
Due August 13 via Intruder Records is ‘Lions’, the second single from Bristol’s Coasts.
‘Lions’ makes for perfect summer listening; it’s both carefree and thoughtful, wispy and powerful, charming and provocative, taking in the track’s dance-punk inspired guitars, catchy vocals and pounding, tribal drums.
After initially meeting at university in Bath, the five-piece relocated to Bristol and formed Coasts in the summer of 2011. The band describes their sound as incorporating ‘tribal drums, tropical strings, thundered keys, and lost cries.’ Their brand of tropical-indie is infused with intelligent lyricism, mesmerising vocals and catchy guitar and percussion lines.
The band cites influences as diverse as Foals, Future Islands and The Cure, which are subtly interwoven within their own fresh and exciting sound. Coasts are already making an impact on the live scene, garnering rave reviews due to their ferocious energy, skilled musicianship, and ability to entrance a crowd.
‘Lions’ is set for release August 13 via Intruder Records and can be heard here:
