Info dystrybutora:
Gdy Radiohead coraz bardziej komplikuje swoje kompozycje a Low zamęcza nas pięciopłytowymi wydawnictwami Coastal na swym nowym wydawnictwie bardzo oszczędnie bawi się dźwiękiem. Nie ma tu ani jednej zbędnej nuty. Oszczędne, melancholijne kompozycje stają się doskonałą ilustracją do zimowych pejzaży za oknem pędzącego samochodu.
Doskonała muza na zimowe wieczory.

Halfway To You is the most sophisticated and stunning collection of Coastal songs to date. Coastal's second full-length retains the fragile beauty of their debut album, but evokes a more textured ambiance, owing in part to a wider array of instrumentation employed on these new songs — including cello, bells, acoustic guitar, found samples, and viola (courtesy of Lorna's Helen Maltby).
Jason Gough's sparse songwriting earnestly beckons the listener to join him on his alternately optimistic and melancholic pursuits. With Luisa Gough adding her enchanting voice to nearly every song, the result is a union of harmonies that rivals the best of Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker (Low) and Neil Halstead and Rachel Goswell (Slowdive / Mojave 3).
"Until You Sleep" opens the album with Coastal's signature casual, faraway vocals, stirring and immersing the listener with gentle, but profound impressions.

"Leaves" is a naked lament in which Gough's stretched, languid remembrances about his childhood home are propelled....... więcej
