Description

Vinyl LP pressing. It s rare that a band s debut album sounds as confident and self-assured as Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever s Hope Downs. To say that the first full-length from the Melbourne quintet improves on their buzz-building EPs from the last few years would be an understatement: the promise those early releases hinted at is fully realized here, with ten songs of urgent, passionate guitar pop that elicit warm memories of bands past, from the Go-Betweens jangle to the charmingly lo-fi trappings of New Zealand s Flying Nun label. But don t mistake Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever for nostalgists: Hope Downs is the sound of a band finding it s own collective voice.
