Specific Coast - “Cold September”
From Los Angeles, singer-songwriter Matt Dunne, aka Specific Coast, has returned to the blog with “Cold September.”
This track possesses a lo-fi, folksy character that is pushed into your ears via a stripped-back arrangement. Acoustic guitar rings out some chords over the delightfully sparse soundscape, with Dunne beginning his intimate vocal delivery straight away.
An additional, subtle vocal layer arrives with the refrain, providing a sense of warm width to the production, along with the help of some minimalistic percussive elements. As “Cold September” progresses, more instruments reveal themselves, most notably some thick bass and the ethereal cries of slide guitar.
Careful listeners will also detect the muted sounds of banjo strings beneath the gentle, brushed propulsion of the drum kit. The overall vibe of “Cold September” is melancholic and chill and we are more than happy to have Specific Coast back on our site, just as we are certain you will find a place for this one in your playlists utilized for quiet introspection.
About the track, Dunne adds that “Cold September is about the subtle reminders of lost love in the change of the season.” Connect with Specific Coast: Instagram | Spotify | Twitter
