The Breeders’s Kim Deal has shared her new single, “Coast,” which is from her new solo and first single for the album, 4AD, that is under the artist‘s own name. “Coast” was written in 2020 after being at her friend Mike Montgomery’s wedding when the house band, The Grape Whizzers, jammed Jimmy Buffett’s 1977 “Margaritaville” with “revelatory levels of low self-esteem.”
Music wise, the “Coast” is a lovely ditty by how the instrumentation fills the air with a lovely jazzy sound while Deal’s vocals serenades the ears with her bittersweet voice. “Coast” just shows how much the artist cares about being a musician.
But the song’s roots reach back as far as 2000, when Deal was staying on the Massachusetts island of Nantucket. An unlikely retreat for the Ohio native, she spent rough off-season where young workers “check the WAM” for surfing conditions.”Coast” was recorded by Steve Albini at his Electrical Audio studio in Chicago. Lindsay Glover and Breeders alum Mando Lopez are the song’s rhythm section, Deal’s sister Kelley plays guitar and horns are by Chicago marching band Mucca Pazza.
