Brazilian-born, LA-based psych-pop producer and visual artist Das Kope returned last month with his new single “Pacific Coast Highway.”
The perfectly titled track is a shimmering slice of hazy psych rock with a chillwave element that feels like a daydream. Imagine the early grooves of Tame Imapala combined with the seductive slick chilled-out vibes of Toro y Moi and Washed Out.
Speaking on the track, Das Kope addS:
“I always go for drives on the PCH. And from the amazing views of the Pacific and the mountains, I often find myself in deep thoughts about my life. The PCH somehow seems to have this magical touch in the back of my mind. Like a voice that says ‘it’s ok not to know the answers, it’s ok just to keep driving’ and that’s the feeling I tried to bring to the song. I also thought that these ideas of traveling and self reflection, seemed relevant for the end/beginning of the year, that’s why I’m releasing it now”
