Alt-Indie Pop musician Cole Anyway is the alter-ego of Los Angeles-based artist Cole Emoff! Cole has a great resume (Jerry Paper affiliate w/ MNDSGN/Kiefer on drums, sound effects for The Midnight Gospel hit cartoon series!), in addition to forging his own path musically. Tomorrow, August 26th he finally releases his new double single which pairs his new single “On Hold” with “Days Off,” which came alongside an animated music video by Mike L. Mayfield (The Midnight Gospel). Cole composes entrancing, laid-back pop songs that are a comforting retro throwback to a simpler, less brutal time in the world. Check out “On Hold” now!

 

 

 

Cole commented:

“‘On Hold’ also has double meaning for me. Gives off the feeling of relaxing smooth hold music (the kind of stuff I grew up loving on video game soundtracks, and have dove more into since moving to LA). But also the feeling of life feeling on hold as I autopilot through the days waiting for something to happen, a reminder to myself not to just stay on hold my whole life.”

 

Cole Anyway Bio:

Cole Anyway is the stage name Los Angeles resident Cole Emoff employs for his cinematic, convention-defying pop. As Cole Anyway, he creates an enveloping trance, drawing equally on lush old lounge records and the smooth, soft sounds of the 1970s, then breaking his chill with appealingly disorienting electronic effects. Cole Anyway takes unexpected turns in arrangements and execution, a gift showcased on the new double A-side single “Days Off”/”On Hold” — a pair of songs equally beguiling in their melodies and vibe. Outside of Cole Anyway, Emoff’s work as a sound designer can be heard throughout today’s landscape of adult-oriented television animation; notably, he added sound effects to Netflix’s The Midnight Gospel, complementing the score of Joe Wong.
