If you enjoy sprawling soundscapes that evoke the bittersweet warmth of a setting sun, 99 Coats is a must-listen. Gavin Coates, a multi-instrumentalist from Maryland, has finally broken his silence with his solo indie project. After quietly accumulating an astonishing catalog of seventeen albums over the last two years in complete secrecy, the project is entering its first major public era.
The new chapter is catalysed by a breathtaking track, “Coastline”. The track nails the exact ache of chasing summer moments before it fades into autumn and Drop is the cornerstone to his new era. It’s cinematic, nostalgic as hell, and a perfect entry point into a wildly ambitious artistic universe.
“Coastline” is 99 Coats’ most radio friendly, accessible release to date. Already from the first notes the song creates a huge sonic universe. It combines the driving beats of alt-rock with the lush melodies of indie-pop and shimmering electronic textures.
The production sounds grand, but the intimacy in the vocals is undeniable. The driving tempo mimics the physical feeling of movement and matches beautifully with the poetic lyrics that describe driving through the night just as dawn approaches. This is the kind of song you turn up on your car stereo with the windows down.,
The track is already generating buzz across social media, music forums, and underground circles. You can stream “Coastline” right now on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.
If you’re putting together your late-summer road trip playlist, this track is a must.
Lyrics:
Drive all night
On the coastline
I’m going upstate
By daybreak
On the coastline
I’m going upstate
Drive all night on the coastline
I’m going upstate
By daybreak
Drive all night
On the coastline
I’m going upstate
By daybreak
Drive all night
I’m going upstate
Drive all night on the coastline
I’m going upstate
By daybreak
Drive all night
On the coastline
I’m going upstate
By daybreak
On the coastline
Drive all night
On the coastline
I’m going upstate
By daybreak
On the coastline
I’m going upstate
Drive all night on the coastline
I’m going upstate
By daybreak
