After the introduction to the synthwave scene with their debut album ‘Memories’, Coastal’s long awaited return with ‘Constellations’ is finally here.
Coastal - the Leeds UK based duo consisting of Jonathan Fletcher and Aaron Hetherington - made an instant impression in the Synth and Retrowave scene with their debut release which included the fan favourite -, nostalgia drenched ‘Kyoto’ and the electric, driving anthem ‘Midnight Sky’.
Whilst ‘Memories’ focused on the been and gone - ‘Constellations’ brings us on to a new journey into the very present.
Introduced gently with a simple arpeggio, ‘Constellations’ evolves with layer after layer of midnight ambience and driving bass. The space soaked vocals of Aaron Hetherington tell the story of two former lovers. Now divided - but still filled with wonder on how everything could have been different - before breaking down into a brutally honest reflection of fault and how mental health plays a part in breaking a relationship down.
‘Constellations’ explodes into life with power and pace before closing out with a magnificent saxophone section. ‘Constellations’ covers the emotions brought about by a past relationship we never wanted to end.
Recorded back home in Yorkshire, ‘Constellations’ is the first single from the upcoming 2023 sophomore release ‘Heartbeats’.
