Cool Sounds 140

Cool Sounds are a five-piece jangle pop band from the Melbourne scene. With a fluid lineup, singer/songwriter/guitarist Dainis Lacey has been at the front of the band since its conception. The current lineup adds members Nick Kearton (guitar), Jack Nichols (guitar), Ambrin Hasnain, and Steve Foulkes (drums). “The prolific group’s style is firmly rooted in Melbourne’s jangle scene, but they excel in borrowing atmospheres from past musical eras with enough ambiguity so as to create timeless songs.” The band has been signed to several independent labels that have gone defunct, including French label Beko Disques and Melbourne labels Whalesmouth and Deaf Ambitions. They are currently signed to Osborne Again and Hotel Motel Records. Former members and close collaborators of the band include Liam Halliwell (sax), Tim Eilenberg (bass), and Lauren Huynh.
