about

"Eastern Seaboard are a trio of melodically inclined Norfolkers, and their debut record sees them turning out a sad-core ... more strain of Americana that hints at the melancholic depths of Mark Kozelek while allowing for
a janglier pop sensibility. There are some wonderful moments to this record...Eastern Seaboard have crafted a resonant debut.” americana-uk.com less

Track Name: moondust
MOONDUST

On the lawn Mum and Dad are
calling me back down
On the roof I set my sights on
something I still don’t understand
I still don’t understand

Satellites I heard them calling
back in 1969
Flickering black and white TV
Watching those who got there before me
But my feet stayed on the ground

Got a job first summer after school
Fell in love with a girl I thought was cool
But those satellites were cruel
And they called from far so far away

Gravity couldn’t hold me
Though her arms would enfold me
I was always skyward bound
And those things could never be enough

72 staring at my home
from so many miles away
but the world looked so much
So much smaller than I thought

Quit my job as soon as I got home
Left my girl I’d rather be alone
Though my feet were on the ground
Those things could never be enough
No those things could never be enough

Cause you can never kick the moondust off your shoes
No you can never kick the moondust off your shoes

Repeat to end
Track Name: soundblaster
Soundblaster

Turn the car around
Better drive back into town
I won’t make a sound
Lights ahead better slow down

Soon we’ll be back home
Check to see no-one’s around
Put some music on
TV’s on but it’s turned down

And I never thought that this could feel so bad
To miss so much something I never had
So here it comes the soundblaster
To shake the walls and tear the floors

Turn the music down
Find your coat where I slung it down
Call a cab to town
TV’s on but it’s shutdown

And I never thought that this could feel so bad
To miss so much something I never had
So here it comes the soundblaster
To shake the walls and tear the floors

So here it comes the soundblaster
To shake the walls and tear the floors
