The Coast… never heard of them. Me and pretty much everyone else I think. Which is a damn shame because on their debut full-length these Canadians hang eleven songs out to dry and all of them are worth your time. Like a mix between Death Cab and Tokyo Police Club with U2-esque parts, “Expatriate” is filled with amazing indiepop gems that’ll charm your pants right off. The reverb on the guitars, the inviting voice of Ben Spurr and a knack for writing melodies are even better when put together.
Don’t let the uglyass cover throw you off, this is really good stuff if you like your music melodic and mellow. And hey, it’s not too late to be one of the hipsters who in a couple of years can tell everyone: The Coast? Yeah, I’ve been listening to those guys for a while now. I only liked their first album though. And then walk away while holding your cool and barely being able to suppress a smile. Go hipsters!
Score: 8.5 out of 10
