Shifty Peaks’ “Coast to Coast” is a vibrant and infectious slice of surf-infused indie rock.
The track instantly gets us hooked as it opens to a driving rhythm section. The guitar riff, a catchy and repetitive motif, grooves a solid foundation for the song’s energetic vibe and thumping, rumbling drums. Joe’s vocals are a perfect match for the music, with a husky, accented voice and engaging delivery that conveys a sense of carefree abandon as if he’s singing live from a mountain. The chorus suddenly erupts and his voice starts soaring highly over the bustling and sparkly cymbals. There are falsetto backing vocals that go along with the song and create this fun jam of diverse, playfulness.
“Coast to Coast”‘s production is crisp and energetic, with a focus on creating a comfortable and inviting ambience with just the music. The drums provide a steady pulse, while the bassline adds depth and groove. The guitar work is dynamic and expressive, showcasing the band’s technical abilities and their ability to craft memorable melodies.
“Coast to Coast” is a quintessential summer anthem, with its sunny disposition and infectious energy. It’s the kind of song that instantly puts a smile on your face and makes you want to hit the road and explore. Shifty Peaks’ influences(e.g., Skegss, Parquet Courts, The Nude Party) are evident in the track, but the band has shown us that they are unique in this journey.
Stay tuned with Shifty Peaks for more bangs ahead.
