Our Take

Ah, the sweet sound of collaboration – or should I say, collab. HIFIKLUB and Mike Cooper have joined forces on their latest album, "Aran Stories," and let me tell you, it's a wild ride from start to finish.

Imagine if you will, a mix of experimental noise, avant-garde rock, and a touch of psychedelia all rolled into one. That's what you can expect from this eclectic duo. From the opening track, "Breaking the Ground," to the hauntingly beautiful "Moss," each song takes you on a journey through sonic landscapes you never knew existed.

Cooper's unique blend of traditional folk elements with modern production techniques is a match made in musical heaven when paired with HIFIKLUB's unapologetically chaotic soundscapes. It's a meeting of minds that shouldn't work, but somehow does – and it's glorious.

The standout track for me has to be "Knitting Fog," a mesmerizing blend of hypnotic rhythms and otherworldly vocals that will transport you to a realm beyond your wildest dreams. It's a true triumph of experimental music that will leave you craving more.

So, if you're looking for something a little out of the ordinary, "Aran Stories" is the album for you. Dive in, let the music wash over you, and prepare to be amazed by the sheer audacity of HIFIKLUB and Mike Cooper. Trust me, you won't regret it.
