Melbourne’s Cool Sounds Share ‘Like That’, Title Track From Forthcoming Album

September 14, 2022

Melbourne artist Cool Sounds has unveiled his newest single ‘Like That’, the title track from the project’s forthcoming album. Released via Chapter Music, the new record is scheduled to arrive on Friday, 7th October. The new (and final) single from the record follows the previously-released tracks ‘Hello, Alright, You Got That?’ and ‘6 Or 7 More’, and shows polymath Dainis Lacey embracing his role as the sole member of Cool Sounds.

Working alongside multi-instrumentalist Dylan Young, saxophonist Pierce Morton, and German-born vocalist (and Partner Look bandmate) Ambrin Hasnain, Like That is something of a new chapter for Lacey.

Described as a transformative record, Like That touches on elements of pop, funk and disco-influenced glam rock. Despite the exterior sheen, Lacey has described the title track as somewhat introspective, taking stylistic cures from 1980s shoegaze.

“I sometimes like to create worlds and narratives that are too large to fit into a song and then pick and choose parts,” Lacey said in a statement. “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.”

Like That will release on 7th October.
