Isle of Wight foursome Coach Party have released the latest offering from their forthcoming debut LP Killjoy, a hazily energetic love plea. “Born Leader” traces the outlines of the star’s dilemma, that ever-impossible balance between outward bravado and the deep-rooted insecurities which accompany losing your autonomy to others. The track is shoegazy and sparkly, reminiscent of the gilded rawness of Soccer Mommy’s recent work.
Killjoy, out September 8 via Chess Club Records, is the apex of three years’ worth of EPs and careful alchemical adjustments. The result is a rugged, glimmering collection of alt-rock excellence. The quartet possess the bright prolificacy of up-and-comers and the finesse of industry vets; the energetic, youthfully-peeved undertones which undergird the album are a thematic and sonic delight.
