New Music from Coast Modern – Digital Servicing Only

Coast Modern is what happens when you let go of what you always thought you wanted and embrace the unexpected; when you stop chasing and start taking the lead. Luke Atlas and Coleman Trapp met while working as Los Angeles-based songwriters, fellow rats in the race to land songs with mainstream pop artists. After a couple of years without much success, they’d each nearly given up – Trapp even left LA for the mountainous serenity of Colorado – but found new inspiration by collaborating with each other. Since then, the pair has developed an aesthetic that combines their admiration for the spirit of misfit alternative bands and the fearless ethos of modern hip-hop. Their tunes have blasted up the Hype Machine charts, with multiple singles charting at #1 or #2. Their eclectic sound has been played on KEXP and KCRW, racked up more than 20 million streams, and caught the ears of media including Pigeons and Planes, Billboard, Vanity Fair, Entertainment Weekly, NYLON, and Interview Magazine. After playing their first ever shows at SXSW in 2016, they were scooped up to go with acts including BØRNS, The Wombats, and The Temper Trap on nationwide tours.

The latest single from Atlas and Trapp is “Dive,” which recently premiered on Billboard. They call it an “poolside banger” with “all the elements that make for a perfect summer night.” The duo themselves had this to say of the track: “The moment right before a first kiss, a sticky night by the beach bonfire, the endless summers of youth… we bottled some of these feelings and cast them into the churning waves for the world to receive. ‘Dive’ is a song about making the whole of existence your ocean to explore.”

“The Los Angeles duo finds a sweet spot with pop melodies, unforgettable hooks, and elements of rock, and the reception has been fantastic.” -Pigeons & Planes “Best New Artists of the Month,” February 2016.

“If Animal Collective were an upbeat alt-J, they’d be Coast Modern.”-Consequence Of Sound
