TP016 - Myles Cooper

Glad today to share the next release on Transparent with you all – the superlative “Gonna Find Boyfriends Today” by San Francisco sweetheart Myles Cooper. Myles is genuinely one of the most special, innovative and idiosyncratic artists and performers we’ve had the privelige to work with and putting together this cut has been a huge honour. “Gonna Find Boyfriends Today” is amorphous and uncontainable, a truly modern pop song – it is a psychedelic childrens TV jingle boasting a seriously transcendental, roof-raising gospel chorus; a playful kaleidoscopic paen to fun and freedom, an unafraid gay disco-house booty-shaker to welcome the sun up. Backed with the pervy white-boy space funk of “Lord Love Music” in which Myles becomes a post-apocalyptic porno preacher, this record is definitely not advised for people who aren’t really that into having loads and loads of fun.

Check out how Myles has gone down in the real world and then hole up inside the songs’ loving sanctum below, but not before stopping off at the wonderful, brain-addling Sky Thorstensen directed video for the jam that first left us under the thumb at the turn of the year:

“Gonna Find Boyfriends Today” is released today. Limited to 300 7” only. UK/EU customers can order from Pure Groove. US customers, we’ll have some copies for y’all over at Leftist Nautical Antiques very soon.
