Chase Coy Self Released Updated: 11/19/08
Expect Chase Coy to be endlessly compared to acoustic genre stalwarts such as Bright Eyes and Dashboard Confessional. Truth be known, Coy has an intimate style and soothing demeanor in his music that draws the listener in tight, making his music dramatically stand out. Look How Far We’ve Come is his third self-released effort to date, and it’s guaranteed to bring this young musician a good deal of recognition. With recordings this profound, Coy just may find his next work released on an indie label.
After a short yet poignant interlude entitled 440, the CD kicks off with Slow Down, a wistful song documenting the summer before you go off to college – a time and place of change where life can never be the same again. If The Moon Fell Down is a definitive highlight, gentle yet infectious, with a warm chorus of “I’ve must have done something right, to deserve you in my life” that audiences will surely sing along with in a live setting. The most stunning track on the CD has to be Interlude, clocking in at over 5 minutes in length – a melodious, ambitious composition of few words, containing some of the most beautifully layered work heard on an acoustic album in a very long time. The 11 track sentimental journey ends with the haunting Deathbed, a moving tribute Coy wrote about his grandmother who passed away from cancer.
At 18 years of age and with over 7 million plays on Myspace, Chase Coy is an exciting new artist that we’ll be hearing a lot more from in the future. Look How Far We’ve Come is perfect music to listen and dream to after a long, stressful day, and to many, will be sheer bliss to the ears.
