No Ufo’s – “Soft Coast” – [Nice Up Intl]

This represents the vinyl release of Konrad Jandavs’ 2010 debut cassette. Upon hearing the words “soft coast,” you might think you’re in for surf music, but these tracks are based on electronic sound waves, loops, and drifts. Although it starts out with what sounds like a droning bee, the album evolves through ambience and synth interspersed with moments of rock sensibilities. The juxtaposition is seen quite nicely with the soothing “Freeze Drift” followed by the livelier “Untitled I” on Side A.
