Kool Thing are now Evvol; hear a new track ‘Your Love’
Sometimes it’s best to wipe a clean slate and start anew. Kool Thing, the Berlin-based trio of Julie Chance, Jon Dark and Valentin Plessy have been trying out different styles beyond the electronic indie of their debut.
What they uncovered was a new sound, one that didn’t fit into Kool Thing so a name change occured. Evvol, they call themselves. ‘Your Love’ reflecting the mirror of the new name continues the band’s characteristic for duality in both vocals and the way in which a tense rhythm dances with a rolling bassline and glassy percussion and an outlook that is closer to their adopted city’s identity for dance music.
Evvol’s album Eternalism is out on May 18th on Mad Dog & Love Records.
