Cool Sounds is the key project of Australian pop polymath Dainis Lacey, with a live band that
sees up to six musicians crowded onstage. Across five albums to date, Cool Sounds’
shapeshifting indie rock has given nods to 80s pop, cheerful funk, and alt-country, all with a
lightness of touch that disguises Lacey’s thoughtful, perceptive songwriting. Their latest album
Like That (Chapter Music) “rips into a slicked n’ slippery, dance-ready aura of disco and funk-
flexed pop.”Raven Sings The Blues This evolution continues with their new EP, BUG0BEAT (2024,
Chapter Music), delving further into an oddball funk-damaged pop sound.
Cool Sounds are playing their first show in Aotearoa in March 2024.
