Long for the Coast


This indie-folk band has been one of my biggest discoveries of the year so far.  There are aspects of the music that are a bit reminiscent of some English artists that I don’t generally care for, such as Passenger and some other popular guys whose names I can't remember right now.  But there’s something about the music that is subtly different, which makes it extremely compelling.  The band is a guy-girl duo from Devonshire.  The minimalist but intricate guitar picking is excellent, and the music builds to include a nearly full orchestra at times.  The song “Ten Years Time” is my favourite, it just about moves me to tears.  “Winter” is also excellent.  But all the other songs have amazing chord progressions and powerful lyrics too.  It’s good wilderness music.  Apparently the band plays in coffee shops around Devon…I hope they get recognised soon for the amazing talent that they have.  We should do our part in the US to listen to their music.
