New Kid Koala single “1000 Towns”
NEW SINGLE 1000 TOWNS
The fourth EP (in a series of 4) is available for purchase today (March 07 2023), along with the fourth single “1000 Towns” from upcoming the album, Creatures of the Late Afternoon. “1000 Towns” is a deliberate and bluesy love song that deftly blends the expressiveness of hip-hop with the frayed and playful soul of garage rock, all conjured by tugging at the heartstrings of his turntables. Featuring the sweet yet distorted tin can vocals of guest singer Coelacanth, “1000 Towns” is built around an ambling piano melody, laden in needle scratches and percussive accidents, like many Kid Koala creations before it – in “1000 towns / 1000 times / Standing on the stage / Spinning plates around”. The magic of the song is in San’s uncanny ability to divine its authentic sound in an original context, through most complicated methods and experimental instruments, to hang it with brilliant ease on a melodic hook and vicarious emotion in a taut two-and-a-minute package.
Creatures Of The Late Afternoon is currently available for preorder ahead of its on April 14, 2023 release via Envision Records. Featuring 20 new Kid Koala tracks on double vinyl in gatefold jacket, plus 8 vinyl-only board game tracks, the package includes inserts with game pieces, dice, and 150 game cards.
