Cody ChesnuTT - "What Kind of Cool (Will We Think Of Next)". ChesnuTT poses an interesting question. I don't think he attempts to answer it. What kind of cool (will we think of next)? There are many possibilities. Some of them resemble the sounds of mating insects. Others recall Thai nightclubs ca 1981. There is the untapped cool of retro kitchenware; the cool of Chelyabinsk Fridays; the cool of swimming in sunglasses. ChesnuTT poses the cool-question but doesn't try to answer it. He doesn't try to invent some fresh sound, writhing newly under the lights. Instead he is precise and nostalgic. He points backward. He is saying, By "cool" I mean like - this. Brass, strings, electric guitar, an ending on a dime. Lush and deliberate, orchestrated. Easy. They will think of new cools, those sweaty throngs. ChesnuTT, regal in his cape, shan't get worked up.
