From the official website:
Quote:
'Coastal Mentality' is the second commercially released album and third studio album by Australian one-man-band Weekend Revolutionaries. It will be released in digital form worldwide on June 7, 2010.
A departure from the dark sounds of previous LP 'Boxes and Boomgates', 'Coastal Mentality' is an emotive synth-based album with ambient elements, and seeks to explore the inextricable relationship between atmospheric weather and emotion. Recorded over 6 months between September 2009 and March 2010, 'Coastal Mentality' contains 14 tracks of ethereal synth-pop and introspective ambient music.
From the lush soundscapes of 'Lucid Experience' and 'Union Square', to the atmospheric breakdowns of 'Rain Shadow' and 'Away', and the anthemic pop of 'Dreams Run Dry' and 'Haze', 'Coastal Mentality' combines catchy pop melodies with downtempo ambient sounds to create a unique mix of optimism and reflection.
