thoughtful observation, mindful contemplation.
Watching as the world passes,

Get Inside Love is the eagerly anticipated second single from brand new Melbourne trio Cool Explosions. The song offers a snapshot of world weary dissatisfaction with a cultural compulsion toward coupledom, exacerbated by cynicism, fatigue of a ‘singles scene’ and an acknowledgment that guarding the heart’s tender garden gets harder and harder with each passing year.  This hardness is only complicated further when there’s the ghost of a love, lingering at the edges of reason...

Sonically the song is a soulful, sample driven excursion into glassy, combing beat production and tingling, peripheral late night FM synths. The track quickly finds, and then works a deep RnB bounce, all the while exhaling a spacious, light-headed airiness. Again, as in the debut Cool Explosions single ‘Cold Fire’, it is the electrifying vocals of lead singer Elle Young that commands immediate, unrelinquishable attention. Slicing, pitch shifting samples sheer throughout, conjuring a world of ceaseless commotion, a stark juxtaposition from a narrative of suffocating stasis. Elle Young delivers a striking soul performance, rendering a plea that is somehow trapped on the outside of its own loveless predicament.

‘Runaway’ is the brand new track from the Melbourne based 3-piece Cool Explosions. The single is the first taste of the forthcoming debut mini-album, mixed by avant-alchemist Nick Herrera (Haitus Kaiyote / Nai Palm).

The single is the most recent offering from the emerging songwriting partnership Vehl/Young - the band's lead vocalist Elle Young and keyboardist Matty Vehl.

Restless and unrelenting, ‘Runaway’ is both an impulsive cry for escape, & an uneasy acquiescence that such a solution is ultimately no solution at all. Elle Young’s effortlessly soulful vocal keens across a tumbling scroll of marbled FM samples and strings, amidst a volatile barrage of dam-breach drumming by rising drum star Alex Roper.
