Every Day Is Christmas
King Louie “Too Cool”
“Too Cool” moves in hypnotic circles – oddly-pitched electric squiggles, rhymes that cycle through talking points like a Mike Jones rap, hype man utterances that snap into a subtle repetitive pattern. With each revolution, you get one heavy bass boom. The first several times I heard this song, it was on laptop speakers and I didn’t notice. It’s overwhelming on decent headphones, rattling on my good stereo speakers. It probably feels insane in a club or through a top-end car stereo. Be careful with this thing.
