Cool Sounds Share New Single "Like That"

Melbourne indie/jangle pop band Cool Sounds have shared their new single "Like That".

The song serves as the title track of their upcoming fifth studio album 'Like That', set to be released on October 7 via Chapter Music. Pre-order your copy here.

The title track is a moment of introspection on the album, like the ballad in an eighties teen movie. Cool Sounds’ pop polymath.

Dainis Lacey says:

"I sometimes like to create worlds and narratives that are too large to fit into a song and then pick and choose parts. In this track a gym rat and a business man become unlikely friends, and both have near death experiences. When I was writing this I was thinking about 80s shoegaze bands like Jesus and Mary Chain. It's a sound that feels equally at home with both blissfully romantic or somewhat seedier content."

Watch: Cool Sounds Drop New Single/Video "Hello, Alright, You Got That?"

Melbourne indie/jangle pop band Cool Sounds have dropped the video for their brand new single "Hello, Alright, You Got That?".

The song is taken from their forthcoming fifth studio album 'Like That', set to be released on October 7 via Chapter Music. Pre-order your copy here.

Cool Sounds fuse jangle-pop sparkle with a supercharged disco-glam stomp on their new album, resulting in something immediate and irresistible. 

'Hello, Alright, You Got That?' combines wry, acerbic lyrics with bright, unstoppable pop-funk, finding a sweet spot between Ian Dury & the Blockheads, Hot Chip and 80s 12” mixes by Francois K. 

Cool Sounds polymath Dainis Lacey plays almost everything on the record, with a little help from friends like multi-instrumentalist Dylan Young, saxophonist Pierce Morton and German-born vocalist Ambrin Hasnain (with whom Dainis also plays in Partner Look).  

About 'Hello, Alright', Dainis says – “My dad was a fan of that brief period in the early 80s where British punks embraced disco. His uni soccer team sang Ian Dury’s Sex and Drugs and Rock n Roll after a win. I searched for a parallel in my own timeline and arrived at 2010-ish indie dance, which holds an equal amount of nostalgia but still stings with the aftertaste of being able to remember too many details from ‘indie club nights’. I think Hello, Alright borrows from both of these memories.”
