Westkust - Touch
This here is Westkust's brand new single "Touch", officially out on June 20 via . A bit more straight-up indiepop/C86-sounding than their great labelmates Makthaverskan, but still possessing a strong postpunk undercurrent. Definitely check this out and keep a lookout for the band's debut EP "Junk" which will be released on July 9.
