If Overmono and Avril Lavigne created a joint myspace page, Coupdekat’s ‘cdjs’ would undoubtedly be the song pinned to their profile. Its 2000s internet nostalgia underpins the tracks yearning for a lost love, meditating on memory through the playful metaphor of lost media.
"I’m really sorry, I’ve ran out of storage in my mind
I couldn’t explore you, and all the files they override"
'cdjs’ considers the end of a relationship, when you’re forced to reconcile the current significance of an ex-partner with the possibility that they may one day fade into irrelevancy. This angst adds to the youthful tone of the track’s fast paced Alt-Pop beat.
Coupdekat leans into contrasts in this track, artfully merging high and low audio quality to create a DIY, authentic ambiance to immerse you into her heartbroken digispace. Over the song’s three minutes, ‘cdjs’ adjusts with us to an eclectic and dramatic new reality.
An exciting taster of her upcoming ep ‘the world she created/ inside her pocket’, Coupdekat’s punky Glitch-core sound commands attention.
