Westkust is a dynamic indie pop-rock band hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden, known for their shimmering guitars and dreamy melodics that echo the reverb-soaked soundscapes of 1980s and '90s shoegaze and noise pop. Emerging in the early 2010s, they quickly garnered a dedicated following in the Scandinavian underground music scene with their energetic blend of fuzzy guitar riffs, punchy rhythms, and ethereal co-vocals, which carve out a unique space somewhere between the frenetic joy of surf rock and the introspective haze of dream pop.
Their self-titled album "Westkust" marked a significant milestone in their career, encapsulating their distinct sound and reinforcing their position as key players in the revival of shoegaze-influenced music. Other notable releases such as "Cotton Skies" and "Swebeach" continue to exemplify the band’s skill in crafting infectious tunes that feel both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. With "Junk" and "Last Forever," Westkust has expanded their discography, solidifying their reputation for consistently delivering vibrant and catchy music that resonates with a global audience. Additionally, the remix of their track "Touch" by Ikons provides a reinterpretation of their sound through an electronic lens, showcasing the versatility and adaptability of their music to different styles and production approaches.
