COASTLINES Schallplatten & CDs

Review: After first surfacing last year in their native Japan, Coastline's second full-length - their debut dropped in 2019 - finally gets a 'worldwide' release on vinyl courtesy of the on-point Be With Records. Like its' predecessor, 'Coastlines 2' is a genuine Balearic delight - a sumptuous, slow-motion affair that giddy blurs the boundaries between bossa, ambient, gentle jazz-funk, samba, colourful synth-scapes and much more besides. Our picks of a very strong bunch include the Andreas Vollenweider-inspired slo-mo Latin shuffle of 'Tenderly', the blazed deep jazz-funk of 'Alicia', the piano-laden early morning wonder 'Night Cruise' and the squelchy future boogie of 'Sky Island'. In a word: superb!
