Cooper T (Feat Jason Williamson)

Long term LTW faves Cooper T have released a new single with a typically brilliant vocal from Sleafords Mods Jason Williamson. The masked duo have been building up to this for the past couple of years, honing down their art, and the new single is a perfect moment that twists their grime hip hop roots with a post-punk guitar line and an acerbic slice of street pop culture pop/noise. It’s a great tune with its catchy as fuck guitar line, typically great delivery from Jason Williamson and the heavy dancefloor chugga chugga beats .

This is our write up on Cooper T from 2023

The epitome of a modern, alternative Mancunian band; they are duo cut from Brit-indie heritage yet delivering a future-facing sound and attitude.  As informed by the new rap and bass tracks they create out of Northern power house studio NQ, as they are by Manchester heroes LVLZ, Broken English & Children of Zeus, the genre defying duo have already established a name for themselves throughout Manchester and stand as an example of an act able to capture the ominous sound of British life in 2023.

As at home with guitars, bands and punk as they are working ‘inside the box’ on computers, drum machines and synths producing club tracks, their sound is a collision of the classic with the now.

Gradually revealing their hand, the ‘Sapiens EP’ features a taster of their multifaceted DNA. From the DnB tinged, mosh pit indie of acclaimed debut single “Getting In The Way” to the funked up outsider anthem “Outside Looking In”, alongside their dance leaning conspiracy theory filled “Put It All” and their jazz leaning ode to humanity, “Back Then”; the EP is completed with the release of their CAN (legendary experimental German rock band) inspired, chippy, punk funk of lead track “Original”.
