Although Long Island is far from the South, Envy On The Coast’s sophmore full-length captures the essence of dirty vibes throughout their matured sound. After a line-up change, the renewed chemistry of the four original members brought together an album that showcases the strength of each musician as well as their developed, collective sound. The complexity of each guitar weave together a textured sound with a strong bass groove in which Ryan Hunter’s voice obviously thrives.
The album is laden with multiple singles,
(see: “Southern Comfort,” “The Great American T-Shirt Racket,” “Headfirst In The River,” “Clean Of You,” and my personal favorite “Laugh Ourselves To Death.”)
that explore slower, grinding songs as well as their signature rapid tempo changes. The raw passion of their live shows is finally captured in Lowcountry and shows the progression of the band which is what makes this album their best yet.
So kindof a long story, but i was on a train in long island in april going to the colosieum, and i started talking to this guy with dreds sitting across from me and he mentioned he was in a band and that they were playing in chicago in a month or so.... Completely forgot the bands name except for something on the coast, but you just reminded me of it... Crazy! thanks for the reminder! Oh and good review
