We've Come To Steal Your Energy is back with a new release entitled I'll Never Be As Cool As You. The release contains four songs.
The first song is the title track “I'll Never Be As Cool As You” and the main riff sounds similar to the Chris Isaak song “Baby did a bad bad thing.” On that note the song is experimental and with a different approach to the vocals. The vocals sort of come in and out. There’s a distorted lead followed by harmonies which are falsetto. The groove is the center of the song while other elements shift and change around it. “Pa 91 (You'll Never Be As Cool As Me)” is very different and sounded much more experimental to me. It starts with various tones and textures. There’s a mix of warmth and metallic soundscapes. It’s oddly beautiful and starts to come together and coalesce. The vocals are also experimental sounding. There’s a unique use of panning and the songs mutate in a heavily electronic groove which sounds somewhere between Aphex Twin and The Knife. Next up is “Is There Anyone There” which begins with a guitar melody and the vocalist asking the question. “Is Anyone There?.” The song is dissonant. It’s not pretty but I’m sure that was by design. Towards the end of the song we do get some drums which are introduced and you get this swelling groove of white noise. “Drinks And A Movie (Tonight)” is the most ambient song in the batch. It’s also very haunting and ominous. The song starts off with a subtle percussion pattern and this fragmented white noise sort of rises to this sense of anxiety. Eventually the tide turns into this pitch bending like melody. Everything feels disconnected but also sort of beautiful. The vocals are experimental. He’s not really singing but more like speaking with multiple layers. This ended up being the highlight of the release for me. This is a unique and inventive release. It’s hard to pinpoint but certainly feels avant garde and pushes boundaries. Take a listen.
