18. SHORES-“COUP DE GRACE” (8/9) The roots of Michigan's SHORES tap the wellspring of Red House Painters, Bedhead, The New Year, Low, Spain, Seam and Slowdive. The first haunting note of "Coup de Grace" rings out, clear and clean, followed in time by another drenched in natural reverb, the living sound of a dark, wooden room. Not a cathedral, not a church, but a place of warmth and comfort nonetheless. The patient crescendo builds, the percussion kicks in, rocketing the dynamics into full play. Clean guitars, loud drums, clear vocals. Purposeful over casual, downbeat yet forward moving. Dark, not depressing. A rainy day, a late night adventure."—
