Touchstone's previous cd showed great promise. That promise has been more than realised now. Wintercoast is a truly superb cd. The band have developed their own sound and all the band members have pushed their playing to new highs. Every track on this CD is excellent, superb playing, catchy hooks and a variety of styles, a bit of gothic, prog and just good foot-tapping rock. If you are fans of any of those gendres then buy this CD you won't be disappointed. The song writing, playing, production and recording are of the highest quality. In particular, Kim Seviour has been given the space, and maybe gained the confidence, to put in a truly inspired vocal performance and seems to take on a greater role in vocal duties than before, she has a great voice . If Touchstone can keep up this standard they are destined for great things ! Opening epic title track Wintercoast, Zinomorph & Line in the sand but there is not a filler in sight. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.
