My current favourite record is this, the debut release from a band called Low Coast. 'Existnig The Dream' was released a couple of weeks ago, with a total of 300 copies being pressed on vinyl on a colour referred to as 'desert dusk'.
Low Coast is Jeff Caudill's new band. Over the years I have found that Gameface has become a band that I have turned to time and time again, and the same is true of Jeff's solo work. And also the band Your Favorite Trainwreck. Jeff has a great voice and is a really good songwriter, so anything that he puts his name to is going to interest me.
Low Coast is a new band and Jeff put it together over the last couple of years after the Covid pandemic. A couple of songs on here were familiar to me, having previously been released on the 'Old Blood' 12" record that Jeff self released in 2021. This band doesn't sound like Gameface musically, but Jeff's voice is so distinct that I'd probably tell anyone 'this sounds like Gameface'. But no, musically this is more like a laid back indie band, and it's a pretty perfect record for the slow, sunny days of summer.
Overall a really great record, but just a shame it was pressed on this swirly mix of colours. A nice clear blue would have probably been much more suitable.
