The second single from UK act Low Girl, “So Cool” deeply engrosses with its lush synths and bustling rhythmic hypnotics. The laid-back vocals enamor as well, navigating gorgeously from the first half’s dreamy pop exterior into a more textured, rock-leaning second half. There’s a variety of climactic, catching moments; in particular, the brief pause around 02:23 gears excitably into the warmly melodic conclusion, full of vigor. “So Cool” is a surefire success from Low Girl.
Also be sure to seek out the group’s debut single “Big Now.” With these two tracks thus far, Low Girl are off to a fantastic start. “So Cool” was recorded with Michael Smith (Bess Atwell/Wolf Alice), and represents the first of three singles in 2022.
