About This Item
Halfway to You is the most sophisticated collection of Coastal songs to date & a welcome reminder that leisurely-paced music can also shimmer & beguile. Halfway to You retains the fragile beauty of Coastal's debut album but evokes a more textured ambiance owing in part to a wider array of instrumentation employed on these new songs - including cello bells found samples & viola (courtesy of Lorna's Helen Maltby). Jason Gough's sparse songwriting earnestly beckons the listener to join him on his alternately optimistic and melancholic pursuits. With Luisa Gough adding her enchanting voice to nearly every song, the result is a union of harmonies that rivals the best of Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker (LOW) and Neil Halstead and Rachel Goswell (SLOWDIVE / MOJAVE 3).
