Westkust - Westkust

Review by Jason Delaney

Westkust's self-titled album is a dreamy and ethereal journey through shoegaze and indie rock. The Swedish band's sound is characterized by hazy guitars, driving rhythms, and soaring vocals. The album is a cohesive and well-crafted collection of songs that showcase the band's talent for crafting intricate and emotive music.

The album opens with the driving and upbeat "Swirl," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. The band's signature sound is immediately apparent in the intertwining guitar lines and the soaring vocals of lead singer Julia Bjernelind. The album's first half is filled with energetic and catchy tracks, like "Dishwasher" and "Weekends," that are sure to get listeners moving.

The album's second half takes a more introspective turn, with slower and more contemplative tracks like "Summer 3D" and "Adore." The band's ability to create evocative and emotional music is on full display in these tracks, which explore themes of love, loss, and nostalgia.

This song _somehow_ describes the happy youth we all long for. So good!

Good stuff. This is much like "A Sunny Day in Glasgow"

clavin007

First time I heard their sound in Youtube, I was knocked out!
After that, I bought their two albums and enjoy them every day.
So brilliant.

Sicka gitarrslingor
Underbart att vår stad fortsätter föda fram grymma indieband.
Mvh
UNDERBARA Blåvitt

Vi såg Oasis 94 i Hultsfred och på (låtsas) Cue Club, 3/4 Stone Roses (största besvikelsen) och Bobby Gillespie på kåren 95 och Popsicle på Magasinet.
Tages är mest produktiva bandet från vår stad. Silverbullit är bästa liveband någonsin.

You know, there are certain bands through my life that I can say that I've liked, but of which a certain percentage of their songs have been subpar. There are other bands, like, for example, Westkust, of whose entire collection I find nothing to criticize.
