Skeppet - “Coast Rider” “Coast Rider”

·

The cold winter months aren’t necessarily the prime time to zone out to some cosmic krautrock jams, but who am I to complain when my Swedish favs Skeppet drop some new knowledge on us? Back when I interviewed the duo in 2014, the mentioned a tape of unreleased and out of print material that’s barely been heard in the U.S. If you read my interview (and why wouldn’t you?!?) Skeppet mentions the below track, “Coast Rider” (which premiered via Decoder), as one of Not Not Fun’s favorites of their pre-Phase 3 material, and it’s easy to see why. The simple guitar, key, and percussion rhythms coalesce into a hypnotic brew of Swedish sonic delight. Deluxe is soon to be released by Not Not Fun, and I’m sure fans of Phase 3 will find plenty to like with this one.
