Lost Tribe by Coastal Dynamic
What makes a tribe? In most cases tribes form when people with similar needs, interests and philosophies find each other. Just like people in a tribe, the 8 songs on this album have common threads tying them together, but they are still engaging pieces of musical expression when heard individually. Victor says "my goal with these songs was to create songs I like individually but that still take the audience on a musical journey when taken as a whole." He adds, "Doesn't all good music make you feel something?"
Encompassing the full range of emotions involved in community; loss, change, growth and renewal, Lost Tribe is expansive and melancholy, upbeat and reflective. The songs are rooted in retro, rhythmic synth elements, real performances on bass, guitar and keys, and grounded by customized drum layers topped with found sound recordings collected from nature, everyday life and childhood/family recordings from the last 3 generations of Victor's family (who were all involved in overseas service). When taken altogether these elements create Coastal Dynamic's unique feel-good grooves.
"During the last couple of years as this collection of songs has been birthed, the themes of tribe, community, and reinvention have been formost in my personal life journey and have (not surprisingly) colored my music. Lost Tribe arriving during this time of global change and reinvention, economic and social injustices, is an undeniable synchronicity that I whole-heartedly embrace" says Phillips.
