Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever's latest album, "Cars in Space", has been making waves in the indie rock scene. The Melbourne-based band's third full-length release is a nostalgic trip down memory lane with its infectious guitar riffs, catchy melodies, and clever lyrics.
The album opens with "The Second of the First," a jangly tune that sets the tone for the rest of the record. The band's signature sound is on full display on tracks like "Falling Thunder" and "She's There," both of which showcase the group's ability to craft memorable hooks and toe-tapping rhythms.
"Beautiful Steven" is a standout track that sees the band exploring more introspective themes. The song's lyrics are a meditation on the fleeting nature of youth, and the band's musicianship shines through on the track's dynamic shifts and intricate guitar work.
While "Cars in Space" is undoubtedly a fun and energetic record, the band also shows a willingness to experiment with their sound. "The Only One" features a dreamy, psychedelic sound that is a departure from the band's usual guitar-driven rock.
