If – like us – you like your pop a little dirty, a little retro, and maybe even enriched by noir or quirky elements, you should check out Brooklyn band Coastgaard, one of our Artists of the Month earlier in 2015. After their rather mellow, melancholic 2013 self-titled debut LP, the quartet in 2014 focused on picking up the tempo with singles ‘Rose‘ and ‘Black White Fuzz,’ their most popular single to date. Coastgaard is now announcing the February release of their sophomore album ‘Devil on the Balcony’ by unveiling single ‘A Well Adjusted Man,’ an elegant pop song that delivers their signature melancholic and cinematic vibes, but takes songwriting and production to new levels, flirting at once with Otis Redding’s timeless melodies and a darker post-punk aesthetic. This is a very promising single. You can see the band live at Pianos on January 28.
