Old Lacy Bed – Coastlands from Old Lacy Bed on Vimeo.
“Coastlands” has been out in the wild in a different form for about a year now, but Old Lacy Bed recently posted a new video for featuring a fresh take on the darty song. You can watch the indie-pop-lifestyle clip above. Weirdly enough, “Coastlands” feels like a throwback as 2014 kicks off. Japan’s indie-pop scene is still janglin’ away, yet it seemed a lot more active back when “Coastlands” first emerged. Simply put, everything got oversaturated and the field filled up with hit-or-miss acts. Plenty of outfits that excel at this throwback sound exist, but they aren’t releasing much at the moment. “Coastlands” is a whistle-happy song that actually highlights a band that can do it well, and a reminder of the promise this sonic world contains.
