Perfect Pop From COIN

Leave a comment

coin_mediumThis is COIN. We last talked about them in October of 2013 and this song popped up on my radar of things to listen to and I got around to it. Glad I did.

We are suckers for superbly executed power pop and COIN has it the formula in spades. Synthy flourishes, memorable chord structures and a wicked hook. There is something in the water in Nashville right now; they are happier people, I guess. This single is a hint of the record to come, Looking forward to hearing the rest. They are on the road for a segment of the current Grizfolk tour so DC, Philly, Boston and Brooklyn readers will be able to see them starting tomorrow night and on to the weekend and though I wasn’t wildly impressed with Grizfolk maybe COIN‘s set will make it worth the ticket…

Fun Pop Track from COIN

COIN_Promo3.120854As much as I appreciate the weirder side of music or the crisp clean hits of jangling pop, I will always have a spot for straight-forward tunes built for large audiences.  That’s the feeling I get when I first listened to this track from COIN; it’s got an explosive chorus, not to mention a catchy vocal delivery throughout.  The guitars have that ringing quality that’s put a lot of bands on the map lately, such as Phoenix, so why not stick with a solid formula that makes you endearing?  You need a pick-me-up jam? This is the one.
