Description
Cool Rainbows make psychedelic indie pop music that is backed by swirling orchestration and layered dreamscapes of sound. Main songwriter, Djeisan Suskov, has had music in the background of his life since he was a child. When he was nine years old, his father started Revolver Studios and by the age of thirteen, he was helping out around the studio - whether that meant running leads or cleaning up the left-behind drug paraphernalia from the studio. Djeisan gradually picked up the basics of engineering by osmosis. The resulting album has the depth of sound that you would expect from someone who has grown up in a studio. He took as a part inspiration some of the late-period work of John Cale (such as the album, Homosapien) and a general love of 60s psychedelic music. Yet the instrumentation also draws from other music from the last forty years of popular music - as on "100 voices", where synth lines drift in-and-out and the melody of vocals are brought forward in the mix, almost giving it the feel of a song by the Psychedelic Furs/Chills. The subject matter draws from everyday life seen from a skewed perspective - "Whale Rocket" was inspired by a day of cloud-watching and "Reality" discusses the troubles of coming down from a bad drug experience. Even when the songs touch on love, the perspective is fresh - "Fake Tattoos" shows the enjoyment of a relationship can fade as fast as the fun of a fake tattoo, while "Pauly" gives bromance advice to a friend with a girlfriend problems. 1.
