Los Angeles-based artist aftercoast is redefining the boundaries of electronic pop, trading surface-level trends for what can only be described as a ceremonial listening experience. His latest offering, ‘Hear It In The Walls’, serves as a luminous turning point for an artist who has spent the last two years carving out a niche for "multidimensional misfits" and cosmic seekers alike.
Since stepping away from his successful tenure as half of the duo Kingdøms, Matt (the visionary behind the project) has transitioned from high-stream dance-pop to a more vulnerable, "Spiritual Electro Pop" sound. If his previous hits like ‘Abundance Love’ and ‘Waterfall’ provided the euphoric heartbeat for this transformation, ‘Hear It In The Walls’ is the quiet, indrawn breath that follows.
Collaborating with producer John McLucas, aftercoast has crafted an acoustic ballad that feels remarkably thin-veiled and intimate. Stripping back the crystalline synths for a warm, grounding guitar, the track moves like a late-night transmission. It captures that specific, liminal magic of the early hours—a mood directly inspired by the artist’s own experiences in late 2024.
Reflecting on the track’s origin, aftercoast shared, “This song began during a season of late-night visions and plant medicine integration. I was waking up between 2 and 4 AM almost every night, sensing synchronicities and subtle messages all around me. I’d grab my journal and just start writing, downloading insights at a frantic clip.”
This sense of spiritual urgency is baked into the release itself. Released on 12/12 as his 12th single and designated as the 12th track on his upcoming 2026 album, the song is a masterclass in synchronicity.
The title itself serves as a tether to the unseen. As Matt explains, “The phrase ‘hear it in the walls’ came through early and became a kind of compass. A reminder that even in stillness, something deeper is always speaking.”
As we look toward his full-length record in early 2026, ‘Hear It In The Walls’ stands as a beautiful reminder that the most profound guidance often arrives in the quietest moments. You can stream the new single above, and to keep up with aftercoast, join him on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
