Toronto, ON-based multi-instrumentalist and arranger, Les Cooper has unveiled a new single, “Best Of You”, pulled from his upcoming debut solo album, Noise, which is set for release on May 20, 2022.
Conceived in a parking lot ahead of a therapy session, “Best Of You” is a somber and searching piece of downtempo indie which weaves layers of keys, vocals, and guitars amid a desire to feel secure: “And the world pulls you ‘round, and the sky holds you down to the ground.”
“I think that getting advice from people that you are close with can be a tricky thing to navigate. It’s tempting to steer toward what feels safe or comfortable. An objective point of view from someone who isn’t emotionally invested is invaluable,” Cooper explains of the song’s inspiration.
