tender acoustic driven folk tunes to full-on electric rock with an experimental edge; more straight-up rock on this outing than on their more alt.country-leaning self-released debut: soulful mid-western rock.
Bio / Background
First Coat is a four piece from Chicago.
First Coat evolved from their acoustic folk origins as a previous, South Side incarnation called Drexel. The lineup was expanded; bass and drums were added. They began to use electric guitars and sythesizers. They self-released their debut under the First Coat name: Great Lakes Disorder, a kaleidoscopic trip through American rock, folk, and alt-country, culminating in a spacey instrumental.
Increasingly rock-leaning, First Coat refocussed their sound around a coherent group of new songs. The result is Move Like Sparrows, a collection of bittersweet reflections.
The thoughtful and expertly crafted acoustic-based songwriting of front man Conor Loughridge mixes with bold electric guitar and dynamic, driving rhythms to create a wonderfully catchy yet sonically deep sound.
First Coat has been featured live on Chicago radio stations WBEZ, WHPK, and WLUW.
