@laweekly01.bsky.social writes up the new LP "Coaster" by @massagetheband.bsky.social - we're shipping the U.S. version now, all pre-orders are in the mail. "Throughout Coaster, the band’s collaborative spark shines." www.laweekly.com/coaster-by-m...

@ravensingstheblues.bsky.social reviews the new "Coaster" LP by @massagetheband.bsky.social "A record so sweet one label couldn’t contain it..." www.ravensingstheblues.com/massage-3/ @bobointegral.bandcamp.com @prefectrecords.bsky.social

“Daffy Duck” is Massage at their best, smelting jangle & synth-pop into a single that’s bittersweet & beautiful. Hung on the perfect melancholy of Gabi Ferrer’s vocals, the song carves out a corner for the kind of decisions that crystalize us into adulthood, the ones that leave a scar bit.ly/3IVd0WN

New single 💫 "Fading Out" ... come for the big guitars, stay for the bass melody, ascend during the bridge massagetheband.bandcamp.com/track/fading...

"Massage pull together pastoral folk rock, New Order-influenced melodicism, and plenty of “college rock”" @massagetheband.bsky.social @rosyoverdrive.com rosyoverdrive.com/2025/10/09/p...

"Coaster is a modest masterpiece" @massagetheband.bsky.social www.apessimistisneverdisappointed.com/2025/10/hang...

Exciting to see this finally out in the world

Massage in KEXP! "The third album from this LA-based band is another sharp set of classic indie pop and melancholic New Wave that’s carried by the band’s jangly guitars, lively rhythms, lush keyboards, dreamy melodies, and reflective lyrics" @massagetheband.bsky.social kexp.org/read/2025/10...
