ALBUM REVIEW: Depths Like These by Slow Coast

Dive into the sonic waves of Depths Like These by Slow Coast, an indie rock gem hailing from the sun-kissed shores of the Bay Area in California. Pulling inspiration from the laid-back vibes of beach culture, Slow Coast is blending the feel good rhythms of the beach with catchy guitar hooks and synths into an infectious and intoxicating sound.

The hooky lead single “Hypnotized” and the rest of Depths Like These marry the breezy essence of pop with the energy of indie rock. Each track on the album is a sunshine-infused melody, accompanied by thoughtful and introspective lyrics that navigate life’s deepest struggles.

On the album, the artist says,

“This album started from me trying out a writing challenge to finish one song every week. I didn’t have any expectations and thought I’d only do one week just to say I did it. But then 11 weeks later I was sitting on an entire album’s worth of songs. I realized just by showing up every week, I had a lot more to say than I thought. I started digging up things that needed to see the light of day, and surrounded them with this musical outpouring that unfolded each and every week. It consumed every hour of time I had but I loved every minute of it.”

Slow Coast takes listeners on a journey of self-discovery and growth through upbeat and danceable melodies, allowing a reflection that would be similar to the feeling as if one were driving the PCH.

Slow Coast further adds,

“Lyrically, ‘Depths Like These’ is about facing your deepest inner battles without resistance. You can dance your way through pain if you let yourself. The songs contrast these lyrical themes with upbeat, sun-soaked melodic landscapes.”

With its blend of infectious rhythms and introspective lyricism, Depths Like These is a perfect soundtrack for navigating the highs and lows of life with grace and resilience.

MUST LISTEN TRACKS: “Hypnotized”, “This Love I Learned”, “Walk with Your Shadow”, “Why See It All”
