Sam's Top 20 of 2016: #17

17.Coastless-The Way

What we have here is a case of a band that just kind of was there at one of my favorite shows of the year and just kind of decided to disappear into thin air which is kind of a shame because all I really had to remind me of this cute little synth pop duo was a set list and a lingering note about a song that they've yet to record being really good, but upon finding their soundcould account I was blessed to at least have a bad ass little well done original tune to listen to in the form of this sweet little synth pop number The Way.

This song is really simplicity at it's finest a simple duet of a tune with some light guitar work and a very steady synth line that all form together to make a tune that is really quite enjoyable and in the months since they've seemed to fall off the face of the earth this tune is a great reminder of what's likely to be a sleeper hit of an album on the horizon that I'll be definitely on the lookout to give a listen to.

Coastless-The Way

So I saw this band open for MOBS at their EP release party and I remember hearing quite a few good tracks at that show and figured I'd go check out some of their stuff and among the small selection of tracks available to listen to on their Soundcloud this one has been on repeat for me quite a bit.

The Way it's a very New Wave sounding tune that's reminiscent of a group like CHRVCHES with it's kind of 80's synth heavy sound and minimal guitar work here and there to remind you that you're listening to something more substantial than you're average pop song you have a steady little number that get's things moving.

The vocals exibit quite a bit of really good harmony and both members of this little group seem to bounce off one another quite well and showcase quite a good chemistry. This is a band who's visibly in the early stages of getting a sound to call their own but this song's a really good sign of things to come and if they do get to releasing their EP here soon I'll definitely make the time to give it a listen.
