Track: Like Elephants – Coastal Drive

Austrian group Like Elephants have released a gorgeous single called ‘Coastal Drive’ – inspired by a cold, isolated seaside environment which can be felt in the Arctic tones and dreamlike reverie of the song.

A melodic thundering bass provides a foundation to layered vocals and chiming guitars – it is an ethereal, vaulting song that evokes a dream pop fugue – elements of Cocteau Twins and Sigur Ros with touches of The Cure.

It’s accompanied by a lovely, evocative video:

I’m looking forward to what comes next from this band. The single is out now though Las Vegas Records. You can catch Like Elephants live at the following places:

03/19/2020 – Vienna, B72 (AT)
03/21/2020 – Salzburg, Szene Lokal (AT)
04/09/2020 – Innsbruck, Rififi (AT)
04/10/2020 – Rorschach, Treppenhaus (CH)
07/04/2020 – Andorf, Hear Open Air (AT)
