coastal

*new album in the works set to release mid 2009 - stay tuned*coastals music borders on reverent. restraint and simplicity are key to the overall sound. smooth basslines, wispy drum movements, melodic, delayed guitar work, a delicate vocal presence, and subdued organ keys all combine to make the music flow with a relaxed simplicity that is truly beautiful.
may 2000, the band self-released a five-song CD e.p. when they were known as infrared. in november 2000, they caught the attention of the Minneapolis-based words on music label (shiFt, should, motion picture). the label soon signed the band for its debut release, which includes the remastered songs from the infrared e.p., plus three new recordings. coastal has since release a follow up album on words on music in august 2004 and plans a third release sometime in 2006.
