Slow Coast is an indie rock project hailing from California’s Bay Area.
Their influences—The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, and Tame Impala—shine through on their new single, “Not Alone,” a track that blends lyrical apathy with indie rock grit.
It opens with a driving guitar line that immediately pulls you in, as the instrumentation builds with a centered bassline and layered textures, turning the track into a full-blown anthem—perfect for a solid head-banging session.
It’s hard not to catch the clear vocal nod to Julian Casablancas, frontman of The Strokes, with a delivery that feels both familiar and fresh.
The chorus, built around the lyrical refrain “tell me I’m not alone,” is catchy without being overdone—it crashes in at just the right moment, bringing the track full circle and tying everything together seamlessly.
The mix keeps the vocals from overpowering the rest of the instrumentation, treating them more like another instrument in the blend, which adds to the track’s cohesive and immersive feel.
It’s a strong release from Slow Coast, adding to their growing repertoire of hook-worthy tracks.
