You may remember Kool Thing from supporting Austra in Dublin earlier this year. The Berlin-based duo have come correct with a new tune. ‘The Sign’ is has a slow burning first third utilising a simple guitar melody before it really gets going when the beats and vocals hit in with synths.
Kool Thing are Julie Chance and Jon Dark who are originally from Dublin and Sydney and met in Paris in 2010.
Here’s their Austra remix and the Playground remix of their own track:
