Most of the tracks consist of steady percussion and continual bass lines with intricate melodies layered over. The vocals take a back seat, being mixed into the instrumentation at a very low level. There are a few songs that break away a bit from this formula (tracks 2 and 6), and almost as if to signify the change the bassist instead of the lead singer sings these songs. \u00a0These tracks are more vocal and melody centric.<br \/>\nThe whole album is enveloped in a mellow vibe, in both the musical sense of the word and also literally as even the album artwork exudes a feeling of calmness. This is an album for those who enjoy getting lost in the textures of music and those who appreciate an ambient, slow paced style of music. Stay away if you\u2019re looking for a fast paced, all out and mental pop album.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div><strong>Reviewed by:<\/strong> Brendan Higginbottom 2 October 2011<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div><strong>RIYL:<\/strong> Yo La Tengo, Spacemen 3<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div><strong>Recommended Tracks:<\/strong> 2, 3, 6, 11<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div><strong>FCC Warning:<\/strong> None<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div><strong>Label:<\/strong> Hidden Shoal<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> 22 September 2011<\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solid garage-esque music that carries a nice melody and is easy to listen to. \u201cLetters From The Coast\u201d is a dreamy, garage-sounding album that manages to retain a moderate level of accessibility.
