One of the best pieces of news to pop up at the start of 2019 was the return of Gothenburg band Westkust, who kicked the year off with Swebeach, a rocket-powered blast of melodic shoegaze. It was the first piece of new music we had heard from the band since their 2015 debut album Last Forever, and many thought the band had called it a day. Re-energised and re-organised with a new line-up however, they’re back with a new album, called simply Westkust, which landed in March and confirmed that the band still had everything that made them great. They’re at Debaser in September, with support from Skin Care.
