DSD February 9, 2017: "Coastline" - Hollow Coves
Shaun Cordingley
Welcome to the "Daily Song Drop": theguysfrom.com's song of the day feature where our resident indie music writer and former DJ Shaun Cordingley features a song every weekday that he feels you need to hear.
Coastline - Hollow Coves
Brisbane, Australia's Hollow Cove is an indie folk band who really have a very simple, focused, acoustic sound, as evidenced by "Coastline", the first track on EP Wanderlust (released on February 3rd). "Coastline" is such a beautifully spare song, that uses harmonic vocals, a pair of acoustic guitars, a single drum, and cymbal to deliver an incredibly peaceful song perfect for a quiet day outside. I know this will be making it's way onto a lot of my winter "relaxing hike" playlists....
The original (album) version is excellent, but there is something so freeing about the less-produced, acoustic version, that I felt that would be the one to share along to you:
Honestly, you cannot go wrong with either version, and if you are a fan of chill, indie folk, you really do owe it to yourself to give Wanderlust a listen to get a sense of Hollow Cove's range of sound.
I still make playlists for Tuesday Tunes/Daily Song Drop, and the latest one we have released is our Apple Music Playlist for the Top 20 Songs of 2016
As I said before, you can expect a Dec/Jan super playlist tomorrow.
