about

Originally released on Bastion Recordings, CD/digital, #BAST003. Out of print. Label statement:

The first release from the Midwestern band Northern Beaches showcases a guitar-driven indie-punk approach that treads the line between melodic song craft and heady experimentalism. 2011’s “Song of the Coelacanth” explores pleasing grooves as well as sonic onslaughts, tight control as well as absolute abandon, directness as well as complexity; but never does it fail to integrate its multiple moods into a coherent whole.

Song of the Coelacanth was recorded as the band Northern Beaches began to coalesce; Zack and Karl commenced recording before knowing who else would be in the band, with Dan joining halfway through the sessions and Brandon not coming in until the album was already mastered. Karl Steffey passed away before getting to see the release of this album. He was immensely proud of it. He considered many of his lyrics here to be his personal statement of how much he had fallen in love with the experience of living, and he was very much looking forward to reaching people on a personal level with this music. We are very proud to be helping him accomplish that goal.
