Premiere: Cough Cool – “Parting Friends”.
June 24, 2011, 0 comments
I’ve long been an admirer of Dan Svizeny aka Cough Cool‘s work that so deliciously alternates between ultra-mellow bedtime pop splendor (see here, for example) and more demanding, experimental sound collages that don’t care for your average listening behavior, and I love in particular how Dan manages to leave all those different sounds sitting neatly side by side, without opting for the oh-so common contemporary schtick to hide behind a zillion different monikers.
Parting Friends in a way belongs to both categories of Dan’s ouvre, a laid-back seven and a half-minute drum loop that slowly meanders along some distant and indistinct vocal samples, all mashed into one hazy sonic pattern. The tune is part of Cough Cool’s new cassette entitled Clausen, a highly recommended thing that is out right now on Not Not Fun.
