August 28, 2019 A.G. Cook shares new track “Lifeline” feat. Caroline Palochek
PC Music boss A.G. Cook is back with his first solo track in a couple of years, featuring soaring backing vocals from Caroline Palochek (to whom he produced her forthcoming solo LP Pang). A.G. Cook says of “Lifeline”:
“The melody at the core of “Lifeline” is this repetitive, insistent and slightly selfish earworm that I’ve been living with for too long now. In the end, the easiest way to deal with it was to leave it in a warm petri dish and let it do its own thing. A few years later I found myself with this young, unstable song, and somehow nurtured it to become a power ballad. The track has a life of its own, but like most children and laboratory experiments, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
