I Think I Met You in A Dream by COIN
Nashville alternative pop trio COIN kicks off this edition! The trio has earned praise from media outlets such as Billboard and Entertainment Weekly and expects to perform at Bonnaroo and the Governor’s Ball. Ahead of their latest album, Uncanny Valley, COIN dropped a three-set EP called I Think I Met You in A Dream. I truly enjoyed their Bee Gees-esque “Cutie” and their raved-about song: “Chapstick.” I think we are going to hear about COIN for a long time! B/B+

Tracks to Download: “Sunshine Twilight,” “Never Give Up,” “Little Fire,” & “Simple Life.”
