2015 release, the third album by the Utah Indie quartet. The album includes the band's first new material in a decade. It features 15 tracks including five new songs alongside rarities and alternate and acoustic versions. The album launches with "We Drink to Remember" - a new song showcasing several elements of Coastal's songwriting it's fans have embraced since the band's formation in 2000. "Amber" could find a home on Twin Peaks with it's unsettling guitar pulsations casting doubt on Gough's lyrical reassurances. Also included is a previously unreleased collaboration with 12k Records founder Taylor Deupree - an electroacoustic reworking of "Infrared," the closing track from the band's 2001 self-titled debut. Over the last 15 years, many Coastal gems have been tucked away on little-known compilations - all of which are all collected here. Coastal has always incorporated elements of dream pop and the gentler side of shoegaze into it's records and does so here on songs like the Spiritualized-flavored "Ashes" and the new song "Shivering." Beneath the Snow and Streetlights is a welcome reminder of the spellbinding simplicity and unhurried elegance which still makes Coastal a model for artists at the nexus of post-rock and dream pop.
