And… chill
“Comfort’s a Killer” huh? Kinda like happiness equals death. WELL THEN WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO AIM FOR HUH?! Sigh. Nevermind the existentialism, the LA duo’s song—the first from their forthcoming second LP Kick at the Dust, out on September 16th—is perkier than a peakcock’s plumes when he’s really tryna get laid. It’s handclap-tastic, it’s got stompily delivered chords, and a scuzzy bassline, and a bunch of dudes shouting refrains. Plus as the song moves into the second half the listener’s overtaken by the urge to throw a pool party that descends into a skinny dipping flesh fest. A party where the guac don’t stop. Or Maybe that’s just us.

Same goes for artists. And I ain’t no shark, man.”
