There is a charming element to the music of Brooklyn’s Coasting. A two female outfit that marries clean surf guitar and crisp drum sounds to insistent reverberated vocals. "Snoozefest" is anything but, as the spirit of early B-52’s (think "52 Girls") is modernized to align more closely with the current purveyors of this sound (Best Coast and The Dum Dum Girls). "Same Old Same Old" ramps up the drum rolls as clean echo-tinged guitar lines lead it up to a full blown cathedral chorus. "What You Wanted" skewers the sound down tremolo twisted avenues, as the vocal sentiment states that "I never wanted to – do you what you wanted to me." Yeah, girls can be cruel sometimes. "Just because you do it to me, doesn’t mean I’ll do it for free," is both playful wordplay and negotiable terms. "Don’t Fight" lays out the rhythm via Mo Tucker tom thump as a spatially enhanced single guitar line glides over top. The lyric "snows fallin’ down, and I don’t wanna fight tonight" shifts in and out of focus in cascading patterns. It then builds Jesus & Mary Chain style to a dramatic high point and ultimate conclusion. The band plays their record release show at Dead Herring in Brooklyn on September 11. – Dave Cromwell
