Cool Sounds is a Melbourne-based indie pop project led by multi-instrumentalist Dainis Lacey, blending jangly guitars, breezy rhythms, and introspective lyricism since their 2016 debut. Known for their sun-soaked sound that nods to Australian guitar pop traditions (think The Go-Betweens or Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever), the band has evolved through line-up shifts while maintaining a DIY ethos, releasing albums like *Dance Moves* (2018) and *Bats* (2022) that balance danceable grooves with wistful storytelling. Recent tracks like "Party Punisher" and "Boredom" showcase their knack for crafting laid-back anthems with surf-rock twang and sardonic humor, often recorded in home studios with a rotating crew of collaborators. Their work consistently channels Melbourne’s vibrant indie scene while playfully experimenting with retro synths and tropical textures.
