Coolin: “one day away from home feels like a hundred”

Released on VHS? That’s how you can listen to our highlighted track “one day away from home feels like a hundred,” a 30-minute droner by Coolin.

There’s a swath of sound and visual artists fascinated by the obsolete format. There will always be people fascinated by obsolete formats.

It’s partly nostalgia. Partly resistance to manufactured obsolescence as a money maker for tech tycoons who program your devices to fail after X number of years to force you to buy another gizmo. Partly a genuine appreciation for the aesthetic that is particular to any given format. It’s the kind of thing you can’t see or hear clearly until its moment has passed.

Stream, share, buy to your heart’s content.
