Review by Dominique Source

Coast, the latest album from Todd Sines, is a captivating collection of electronic tracks that showcases his mastery of sound design and composition. From the opening notes of "Pacific," the listener is transported to a world of shimmering synths and pulsing beats that evoke the ebb and flow of the ocean.

Sines' use of space and texture is particularly impressive on tracks like "Shoreline," where he creates a sense of depth and movement with layers of atmospheric sounds and glitchy percussion. The title track, "Coast," is another standout, with its haunting melodies and hypnotic rhythms building to a crescendo of distorted synths and pounding drums.

Throughout the album, Sines demonstrates a keen ear for melody and harmony, weaving intricate patterns of chords and arpeggios into his arrangements. Yet he never loses sight of the importance of rhythm, and each track is propelled forward by a propulsive beat that keeps the listener engaged.

About Todd Sines

Inspired by early electro, pop and hip-hop like Art of Noise, Herbie Hancock & Whodini, Todd Sines began creating music in the late 80s, ranging from post-punk and industrial, to techno and house. He swapped his bass for an analogue synth in 1991, beginning a lifelong gearlust of all things tactile and analogue. While at The Ohio State University, he was the last student to study modular synthesis under former Stockhausen student Dr. Thomas Wells, the author of the seminal 1981 study "The Technique of Electronic Music" (Schirmer Books) In 1993, his music caught the ear of Carl Craig and Daniel Bell, who helped him release records on the Planet E, 7th City and Peacefrog labels as .xtrak and Enhanced in the mid '90s. Over the last two decades hes worked with and remixed Yoko Ono, Alexander Robotnick, Robert Owens, Paul Randolph, and Sal Principato of Liquid Liquid, while his live performances and DJ gigs have been featured in art spaces like MoMA PS1, Creative Time, the Wexner Center for the Arts; festivals like Movement, Roskilde, and Sonar, and clubs like London's Fabric and Berlin's Berghain, Panorama Bar, and Tresor. His recording studio still features a nearly all-analogue hardware environment, with tape machines, sequencers, synthesizers, and many DIY / home-brewed instruments, conjuring a future-thinking sound from times past.
