Kool Thing, ‘Plan. Life. Go.’, Laser Guided Melodies
This debut single from Berlin-based duo Kool Thing is a compelling, slow-burning tune, composed
with elements of electro, techno and rock. Guitars penetrate this track
entirely for the first three full minutes, offering a blues fuelled,
cosmic-rock sound. Repetitive and persistent, the single slowly build
with the eventual input of live percussion and post-modern drum machine
patterns. Finally, atmospheric, effect-heavy vocals join the fray. Synth
timbres too get involved. All these sonic ingredients lead to a
pounding electro-rock track – deep, heavy and very danceable.
The track eventually reaches an almost cinematic climax, full of rush
and adrenalin, retaining a meditative, warped vibe alongside a direct
and physical rhythm. This is certainly a promising and complex debut
effort from Jon Dark and Julie Chance.
‘Plan.Life.Go’ is available now via download or on 12” vinyl, as all
good releases are. The single package also includes two remixes by Toby
Kaar and REID.
