An impressive debut release from this very young band from West Palm Beach, Florida. Astro Coast is a guitar-driven indie rock album with strong influences of garage rock and Afro-pop sounds. The sound is powerful and straightforward, but with some feedback buzz and deep reverb that deliberately muddies the sonic waters, giving it an extra depth. The songs are all very strong melodically, with great hooks and West African-tinged rhythms. The standout track is the single "Swim," a perfect summer song.
A really fun summertime album. Recommended.
Rating: B+
