Spooky Cool

The subject matter of Spooky Cool’s music often pivots on annihilation of one form or another, whether such destruction concerns male ego and presumption or more biblical notions of the apocalypse. Yet this type of topic is never conveyed in a high-flown, pompous manner, but rather is imbued with a wry comical aspect which grounds such dismal, and at times existential concerns with a sense of modesty and playfulness. Zac Hryciak’s lyrical approach moves effortlessly from the anecdotal to the wholly spiritual, from matters of inebriation and sexual insecurity to grand abstractions like good and evil. In essence, Spooky Cool unflaggingly strives to intermix the mundane with the extraordinary.
