Coma Coast - 1989/The Ritual (Parissi La Musique)
Coma Coast - 1989/The Ritual |
Release Date: 24th February 2014
A Venezuelan and a Londoner. Utah
Saints meets 80s electro pop. Bouncing synths versus stomping dance beats.
These are the delightful conflicts that make up the sound of Coma Coast, a duo
of the electro-dance persuasion. Each side of this single has its own remix
version but the original of '1989' is an understated, almost subdued
electro-pop joy with drums that punch home and synths that bounce around like
sun beams off a broken car window. The remix version of '1989' by Attar! is a
little darker with those beats and synths layered up once again to create an
even bigger dance onion even if it does lack a little direction. 'The Ritual' starts
off like the background music to Sega's answer to Street Fighter, Streets Of
Rage, but the slightly camp vocals Mariano Robles bring this in to the 21st
Century as a smoky, seductive serpent tapping you on the shoulder and
whispering naughty things in your ear. The Sano remix of 'The Ritual' is a more
stripped down affair with skittish, manic vocal samples that are entirely
suitable as the ringtone of a serial killer. On the whole, this is chilled out,
well made dance music with a slightly different twist so I'm all for it.
