Shores - Coup De Grace
Very much compelling, charming, subdued, delicate and mesmerising
Not your usual offering from No Idea, but worthy of your attention all the same. Michigan duo Shores will pull you into a wintry, slowpaced haze and crescendos rising from the tinkling intros envelop you in a haunting, yet calming musical blanket. Shores make it all sound so effortless: subtle melodies twist their way around carved out guitar lines and prominent drums. It’s clean without being over-produced and offers dark and moody vibes, strung along by the constant promise of a climactic finale. Very much compelling, charming, subdued, delicate and mesmerising – check it out.
