\ (^_^) / (Hands Up) by Cold Court

For fans of Skrillex, 100 Gecs, Crystal Castles, nu metal, and old-school emoticons, \ (^_^) / (Hands Up) by Cold Court presents guitar music for the brostep generation, fusing the harshest edges of rock and electronica to generate pure aesthetic intensity. Anthemic riffs which would feel right at home on turn of the millennium radio fold into new shapes under the direction of intense electronic augmentation, joining forces with the gargantuan synthetic structures of early 2010s dance floors to sear the optimism of the so-called end of history directly into our brains. Injecting these influences with a fresh wave of intensity and production expertise in the mid 2020s reveals us today as a people desperately clinging to the hope of a previous generation, the cold corpses of broken promises getting a second, frantic act today as the puppets of the panicked youth. If we stop our desperate dance, we may notice that all this grandiosity only serves as a tragic swan song for humanity, so we must instead continue our uncanny movements, making art as monumental as possible with our dying breaths.
